I'm all in favor of alternate models of computing, or styles of programming, but this guy writes like he invented cold fusion or N-rays. I think he relishes his self-appointed status as an embattled minority/shunned Messiah.
This is not to say that his ideas are totally without merit. I'm sure there are problem domains well-suited to his approach. However, just like all previous One True Ways, it's unlikely to be always be the best way of doing things. He also glosses over important details like his claimed hardware support, and how you're supposed to construct non-trivial flow diagrams in practice.
