Not entirely true; many of the concepts from Linda (Jini/Javaspaces) are around in the form of KV stores.

Could you elaborate on that? I'm pretty sure you mean something more sophisticated than a key-value store, which is about as old and dead simple a concept as we have.

No, I mean, tuple spaces were always quite simple as well as a simplification, and the use of KV stores in many distributed computing tasks continued that trend under another less soiled name.
