Anyway, a key difference is that a key inspiration for both BETA
and also the actor model is modelling physical (or imaginary)
world processes . In that context it makes sense to think of a
variable as a "process/object" that can store what you send to it
just like a printer is an "process/object" asked to print what
you send to it.
Most imperative languagedesign struggles with the stateful
process vs pure math aspect of programming IMO.
