   * flexible: like Smalltalk, Self and Ruby, AmbientTalk embraces the use of elegant and expressive **block closures** to achieve a level of reusability far exceeding that of Java or similar languages lacking true closures.
   * event-driven: AmbientTalk has built-in support for **actor**-based concurrency, which operates based on entirely //asynchronous// and //event-driven// communication. No threads, no locks, no deadlock and no data-level race conditions!
-  * distributed: AmbientTalk has built-in natives to make objects discover and talk to one another in a **peer-to-peer** manner across a TCP/IP network.
+  * distributed: AmbientTalk has built-in language constructs to make objects discover and talk to one another in a **peer-to-peer** manner across a TCP/IP network.
   * **symbiotic**: built on top of the Java Virtual Machine, AmbientTalk exploits the Java reflection API to enable AmbientTalk objects to collaborate with Java objects. This enables reuse of existing Java libraries while not abandoning the dynamic programming style of AmbientTalk.
