Using Message Passing Instead of the GOTO Construct (opens in new tab)

Using Message Passing Instead of the GOTO Construct Hewitt, Carl This paper advocates a programming methodology using message passing. Efficient programs are derived for fast exponentiation, merging ordered sequences, and path existence determination in a directed graph. The problems have been proposed by John Reynolds as interesting ones to investigate because they illustrate significant issues in programming. The methodology advocated here is directed toward the production of programs that ...
