In your opinion, of course.

As they say, opinions are a dime a dozen. The author would say that, if the Turing Machine was relevant to parallel programming, we would not have a parallel programming crisis and you would not be reading this and getting all twisted out of shape because your idol is not what he's made out to be.

Wow. He must have struck a raw nerve.

You are worse than obtuse. You are plain dishonest. You are picking stuff up out of context in order to appear to make a valid disparaging point but you are just being an a*hole. And you know it.

You are being disingenuous or purposefully obtuse since the author explains what he means in the same sentence. It's not rocket science.

You're wrong. There are serious people working, as I write, on implementing the author's vision.

The way I understand it, components can share data.

Well, Savain would say, "If the Turing Computing Model is as awesome as computer scientists make it out to be, why doesn't it solve the parallel programming crisis?"

Well, you should read his recent posts on why Frederic Brooks's "No Silver Bullet" was wrong:
