Yes, i see your point. I did read the Armstong book many years ago and played with erlang and was blown over by its feature set. This definitely bled into some of my current work along with the zeromq book by Pieter Hintjens. This led me to my current work where i fully reimplemented a couple of existing commercial solutions my client had purchased for $millions in licensing fees and simply boiled it down in to a series of steps which were then implemented in single threaded processes (except for one!) in python communicating as above. With almost no magic the throughput and timliness of the data increased 10 fold. Then these processes were individually rewritten in c++ & one particular one in java and the throughput increased massively again. My point being this whole divide and conquer thing is totally legit :)
