@joshsusser @mfeathers AFAICT "cell wall" in FP is via Abstract Data Types & modules. Information hiding isn't an OO-specific thing.

@davetchepak @mfeathers But it sounds like it's more fundamental in OOP, if that's how FP does it.

@joshsusser Is there really a diff between "obj.call(arg)" & "call(obj, arg)", where obj specifics hidden via ADT/private members?

@davetchepak Absolutely, but you need to turn that obj.call into passing a message.

@joshsusser By passing a msg do you specifically mean async call to independent cell?

@davetchepak Async is optional for message passing. At least in practice it is.

@joshsusser So how does a message differ from a function call? Implicit 'this'?
