So your solution to the the insanity that is the threading model was to reinvent the process model in it...

I don't intend to be mean, I just think the idea of independent execution in a shared memory environment is fundamentally flawed. And the effort in trying to get such follies working should have been put into better process models.

Where did you get that?

Immutability does not mean replicating the 'process model'. It means removing (limiting) an entire class of bugs from your multithreaded code. There will still be shared areas - and those should be controlled.
