The Trouble with Erlang Concurrency | Tim Fox's blog edit / delete
The specific point is that the actor model makes it difficult to distribute a service (which isn't a problem when you have explicit channels -- you just use an any-to-any channel). The general point is that providing one model isn't helpful when that model doesn't work for your problem.

Direct use of the PostScript language edit / delete

Python (well, really Haskell)-style syntax for Javascript. This is something I've wanted for a while, since JS ought to be a usable language were it not for the 1970-style syntax. (That and reasonable POSIX bindings.)
