Messaging Design Pattern wrote: > The particular point in discussion > was whether or not messaging needs to be part of the software model:
As far as I can see, Messaging is already part of the software model. It has been part of the software model for a very long time. Windows is based on messaging. All the new Linux desktops are now messaging based, i.e. dbus. Mind you, when they switched to a messaging based model we got a noticeable performance hit. So, I am not sure what your objective is now? If your objective is to convince people that messaging is part of reality and that software should mimic this reality, then I think you are wasting your time because people already know this. OTOH, if your objective is to define a set of best practices to achieve a successful implementation of a messaging sub-system, then I think that your efforts are worthwhile and much appreciated.
