Patrick Logan: Message queues are not general enough. On the other hand, a tuple space can implement all the functionality of a message queue and a variety of other patterns. Message queues also emphasize the glue, and applications end up implementing those other patterns less abstractly. When the pattern changes, you have to rewrite the message queue glue. Distributed tuple spaces allow the desired patterns to be implemented more simply.
