STM is which kind of concurrency?

Hello,

The Erlang guy Joe Armstrong said: Basically there are two models of concurrency. Shared state concurrency, and Message passing concurrency. (from Dr. Dobbs article www.ddj.com/201001928 )

Which of those two models of concurrency does STM, software transactional memory, fit into?

Thanks.

Shared state, if you must.

Shared state, if you must. STM is explicitly about the manipulation of shared, mutable memory locations (which just happen to be transactional).
