Message-passing concurrency involves communication between threads or processes through messages rather than sharing state directly.
Key Concepts
Communication - Threads or processes exchange data by sending messages to each other, typically through queues or channels.
Decoupling - Reduces the need for explicit synchronization since each entity operates independently and communicates via messages.
Advantages - Simplifies concurrency management by avoiding shared state issues and reduces the likelihood of race conditions. Common in distributed systems and actor-based models.
