Message passing, mainly. I.e. if your program is an event-based loop, then an interrupt is just another kind of message that you can receive on your main thread.

So is this mostly just a case of the author never having heard of the restrict keyword?

A ridiculous article. Yes, Haskell will outperform C if you write a crazily inefficient C program.

Okay, and that's fine if Rust doesn't want to be used for making kernels, programming language runtimes, etc. You know, systems language stuff.

In what way is Rust suitable as a systems language if we don't have a picture of what unsafe code is or is not allowed? At least in C there is a consensus about what works and what doesn't -- i.e. pointer aliasing is technically u

You've got it: processes are not allowed to run blocking syscalls under the hood. Transparently that work is handled by backing IO threads.

I think you misread OP's sentence. Actors and micro services are not really related to FSM's. You can make services and actors which can be modeled as FSM's but they don't have to be.

It seems what the author learned is that "programming languages sometimes let you do things in the wrong order", which is so obvious that it's kind of a non-observation. Anyway, functional programming on its own doesn't

From what I can tell, gunDB completely ignores all distributed systems research up to this point, so that makes sense.
