Time to discover communicating sequential processes instead :P

That stuff gets rediscovered all the time, the latest example probably being golang

wait this is new to me so is this like a different kind of tla?

I've always thought CSP as a robust design pattern where you have no shared state between components and they must communicate with each other using message passing. It also requires synchronous communication (rendezvous-style). If you follow those rules you can have a pretty robust system. Aside from these abstract rules, CSP has more formal research (algebra) but I'm not sure if there are any decent tools available.

TLA gives you a full toolbox and in theory can model whatever you can express. That's very different from a design pattern.

I am learning TLA+ but I do not know CSP, is CSP better?

Take a writing class. This was painful to read.
