Linda programming language exemplifies bringing craft principles into computational systems.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Linda is a more practical and a more elegant alternative to concurrent logic programming.claim0.849
  Overall comparison conclusion against concurrent logic.
• Linda is a simpler, more powerful and more elegant model than any of these four alternatives (message-passing, concurrent objects, logic languages, functional).claim0.827
  The central thesis of the paper, stated explicitly in the introduction.
• Linda is a model of process creation and coordination that is orthogonal to the base language in which it’s embedded.quote0.823
  Load-bearing definition of Linda's relation to the base language.
• Linda Programming Modelconcept0.809
• Linda wins the freedom to coexist peacefully with any number of base languages and computing models.concept0.798
  Load-bearing statement on Linda's orthogonal design principle: it doesn't meddle in computation, only coordination.
• Linda achieves scalable performance on distributed-memory machines.claim0.788
  Supported by reported speedup through 64 nodes on iPSC/2.
• The Linda model doesn't care how the multiple execution threads in a Linda program compute what they compute; it deals only with how these execution threads are created and organized into a coherent program.concept0.784
  Foundational principle: Linda's orthogonality to base language and computation model is its core strength.
• It is impossible for us to accept the claim that functional languages are necessarily higher-level than C-Linda.claim0.779
  Critique of the functional-level argument based on mental models.
