title: Has the `message-passing/shared-state' dilemma (concurrency & distribution) taken form of a `Holywar'?
body: <p>I'm not too well-informed about the state of the discussion about which model is better, so I would like to ask a pretty straight question: Does it look like two opposing views having really heatened dispute? E.g. like prototype/class based OOP or dynamic vs. static typing   </p>
  
  <p>(though these are really not much fitting examples, I just do not know how to express my question more clearly)</p>
