Category:Process calculi and Category:Actor model[edit]

I don't see any reason to put this article in one category and not the other. After this article is the history of their mutual influence and co-evolution. Regards,--Carl Hewitt 18:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Questioning the neutrality of this article[edit]

This article may perhaps be read as a list of arguments of why the actor model is perhaps considered "better" than the one(s) it is compared against.

Searching for the word "problematic" it turns up below this heading only: "The 1978 version of CSP differed from the Actor model in the following respects [Clinger 1981]": The problems seem to be related to CSP only.

I find it somewhat strange that in a history article of "actor vs?/and? process calculi", that the actor model should come out on the pro side only, or at least, the compared with - so much in the "problematic". –Øyvind Teig (talk) 18:25, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: The contents of much of what Carl Hewitt has written on Wikipedia is also shown in Actor Model of Computation: Scalable Robust Information Systems by Carl Hewitt. I have now discovered that he was at Wikipedia as User:CarlHewitt. –Øyvind Teig (talk) 08:58, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
