Addendum: Why oh why does this warrent a downvote? It a quote for dogs sake!

Wrong! Here is a quote from the manual of just one of the concurrency enabled languages I have been playing with:

7 Concurrency For Free

This part of the tutorial addresses the following theme: what happens to programming when support for concurrency is extremely cheap, economical, and efficient. Suddenly, an entirely different style of programming and design is made possible. We are going to explore and exploit this new freedom.

XXX has very efficient, very economical, very lightweight threads, with fair preemptive scheduling. We don't mean that XXX threads are just somewhat better than brand X; we mean that brand X can't even see our dust with a telescope, er... well, just about anyway! In order to assuage the skeptics, we first exhibit a program that demonstrates massive concurrency and exercises the worst case. Doubters are encouraged to throw that program at their favorite programming language... and watch it die, eventually. Meanwhile, you could mount a clay tablet device, and engage in the more rewarding exercise of installing Windows from sumerian backup.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco.
Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
