That was also the original model of messaging in Smalltalk (well, without the necessity of a broker).

Smalltalk receivers returned values to the senders of the message. Plus, they were synchronous.

So, while indeed still messaging, I'm not sure about the similarity to message queues/brokers in modern enterprise, where, as the parent said "By their nature such messages are asynchronous and unidirectional".
