Anyone followed links that Andreas gave?

There is a dissertation that addresses two fundamental problems:
- - it introduces synchronization mechanisms that are meant to escape
  from the situation where you
  - either have interference
  - or non-deterministic deadlock
  (Erlang does not solve these problems.
   The recent book about Erlang does not even mention the word "deadlock")
- - *security*

It is a point-of-view-changing reading.

It is true that it is far less mature for production quality, but taking ideas from something as
primitive as Erlang ... well, good luck.
