Raul, I disagree, because Actors are about writing explicitly parallel programs, while J programs are at best and currently in principle, only implicitly parallel. I say only because just as it is clear that auto-vectorization inherent in J is finely adopted to the multi-core processors, it is also clear that auto-vectorization is not going to solve all the problems of parallel programming. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/concurrency-via-the-Actor-model-tp23249986s24193p23266919.html Sent from the J Programming mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
