Linda is a simpler, more powerful and more elegant model than any of these four alternatives (message-passing, concurrent objects, logic languages, functional).

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.claim0.885
  Overall comparison conclusion against concurrent logic.
• Linda is a model of process creation and coordination that is orthogonal to the base language in which it’s embedded.quote0.885
  Load-bearing definition of Linda's relation to the base language.
• The Linda model-a swarm of active tuples surrounded by a cloud of passive ones-is suggestive in itself.claim0.846
  Comment on the conceptual elegance of the model, used in conclusion.
• 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.concept0.841
  Foundational principle: Linda's orthogonality to base language and computation model is its core strength.
• Linda is portable across a wide range of parallel machines.claim0.839
  Claim supported by the list of implemented platforms.
• The Actors model covers fewer programming patterns than Linda, but in a more complicated way.claim0.833
  Critique that Actors is less expressive yet more complex.
• Linda programming language exemplifies bringing craft principles into computational systems.claim0.827
• Linda achieves scalable performance on distributed-memory machines.claim0.824
  Supported by reported speedup through 64 nodes on iPSC/2.
