I back this up. Clean once had this with the {P} and {I} annotations.

The current Clean developments around explicit message passing are important to facilitate non deterministic computing, but they consitute programming in the small: When a piece of software grows past the executable boundary and starts to constitute a serious automated system, explicit message passing implicates major code overhauls (for inserting those message passing instructions), bars many cross-executable optimizations (coming soon: fusion), and bars cross-executable laziness (I think).

If we want programming in the large, we need paralellism a la Valery.
