A process is an object. It accepts messages and sends messages. It encapsulates state.


Sure. But... Then you enter the place where you get overloaded semantic. In particular... the fact that "Object need Classes !" or "Objects are a thing that encapsulate Functions with hidden state"

I have some ideas for post about the fundamental difference beetween RPC and message passing. And how it impact how you think about your code (Java/Cpp vs Smalltalk/Erlang). I think it is the main point.
