Dawn is a self-aggrandizing ignorant who lacks the ability to reason simple things. Due to the proscription of subversion, it would be pointless to implement anything else 'side by side'. If one wants to use a different syntax, it would make much more sense to use a translator. However, none of the examples of alternate syntaxes she gives could possibly offer any useful benefit over predicate logic.

See what I mean about her self-aggrandizing ignorance? "Process model" is meaningless gibberish, and she is either too ignorant or too stupid to recognize that fact.

Even if one goes the extra mile and tries to make sense of the gibberish by substituting "computational model" or "model of concurrency", the object oriented folks do not have a consensus on either so using the definite article and suggesting that provides a unique starting place is lunacy.
