Has anyone commented on Combined Object-Lambda Architectures?

I found this http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2007/02/15/complete-computing-system-in-20k-lines-of-code/ which includes links to a video, NSF project, whitepaper etc, describing the combination of Object and Functional architectures for building a programming system. Its incredibly interesting, even I I don't quite understand all the concepts yet. Has this been addressed at LtU? I searched but didn't see anything.

Automata-Based Programming

The use of automata theory seems to conflict with the notion of "software". This may account for why automata theory is rarely mentioned in computer science or even in software engineering. Imagine my surprise when I came across these two recent whikipedia entries:
Automata-Based Programming , and Switch Technology .
