Actually I am aware of occupying your precious time by explaining to me things. (no sarcasm, actually)
these are useful, thanks.

I never said that 'ithreads' was evolution of 5005threads,

I was surprised to read that And I know that Liz didn't know what she was talking about.

Well, I learned something new and useful today,
:) :)

I never stated that I know much threads details, but I thought I understand some basics and drawbacks.
o-kay, maybe my understanding needs to be adjusted, in a sence that threads are more usable than I initially thought.

Now I wonder - are Tcl threads any better?
I will look at http://www.tcl.tk/doc/howto/thread_model.html and http://www.tcl.tk/doc/howto/thread_model.html and will let you know.
Actually some things in Tcl is done better - compared to Perl (starkits, GUI and virtual file systems), but - for me at least - Perl is much better to use.

Ok, now I am away reading articles about python and ruby threading pointed by you,
for which I especially grateful.
