Forgive me for my impertinence, the following question might sound
like blasphemy to some of You, but I have had a discussion with my
boss, and he posed this question:

What distinguishes a Transputer from any other processor, especially if
I take a, let's say 68030 or 32532, add 4 communication channels
and write software to do processor-processor communication?
What makes a Transputer so interesting?
