The point of the quoted snipped seems more aimed at the "we lose the thread as an abstraction" part.

Good. It's good to lose the stateful thread as an abstraction.

In the article we have someone promoting the use of a functional language on a functional programming site promoting the use of thread-lexical mutable variables to store state across procedure calls. The alternative the author dismisses is to swallow a return as an input. Something's not quite right here.
