Subject: [9fans] current state of thread programming
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:11:19 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <14ec7b180807281011k2ccffe12i5739998193c18024@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

found this snippet today and decided to share it with the list. every
once in a while a look at how "the rest of the world" does things is
beneficial :)

"I don't know about you, but every time I have to program with threads
and shared resources, I want to remove my face incrementally with a
salad fork. Locks, mutexes, the synchronized keyword; all of these
things can strike fear into the heart of a green developer. Most
seasoned developers just fall into a rut of depression when it's time
for multi-threading. Developers like me simply talk our way out of it.
It's easier than thinking."
