Rich Hickey the creater of Clojure (functional Lisp) has done a bunch of nice videos on the language here is one he did on concurrency that is really very good:
At the end, he introduces an ant colony simulation that has similar concurrency problems to your rock falling simulation. It is all done with immutable persistent data structures and transaction memory. I think it is the most exciting new programing language development of the past few years. I wound up watching many of his videos.
Smalltalk could do this stuff well.
