Concurrent object oriented programming has little or no meaning; it strikes us as more of a marketing than a technical term.

Object-oriented programming is powerful and attractive, but irrelevant to parallelism.claim0.818
Claim that OOP per se does not solve any parallel programming problems.
Object-oriented design is orthogonal to parallelism; 'objects' themselves do not help with parallel programming.claim0.810
Concurrent object systems reduce to message-passing or monitors; objects solve code organization, not concurrency coordination.
Object-oriented concepts are irrelevant to solving parallel programming challenges.claim0.809
Strong assertion that the enthusiasm for 'concurrent object-oriented programming' is misplaced; objects do not inherently help with parallelism.

Delegation along multiple axes is not meant to imply any kind of concurrent or nondeterministic mechanism.claim0.750
Clarification that the multi-axis delegation is sequential and deterministic.
Monitor (Concurrent Programming)concept0.746
The strengths of all three models (concurrent OOP, logic, functional) are irrelevant to parallelism, and generally unhelpful in dealing with process creation and coordination.claim0.742
Assertion that the popular models add nothing to parallel programming.
Parallel programming needn't be terribly difficult, but 'thinking in simultaneities' as in message-passing is calculated to make it difficult.claim0.740
Asserts that Linda's uncoupled style reduces cognitive load.
