in thread Why is the execution order of subexpressions undefined?

Without extra syntax, separate statements means serialisation. Compound expressions permit concurrency without extra syntax.
See. Right there. We're working off of a complete different set of assumptions. What in the world makes you think the above quote is true? Are you talking about a particular parallel language you haven't mentioned? (Is there a parallel/array dialect of Perl out there?) Because in the general case that statement is false, if for no other reason than it is overly general.

    I think the main problem is that BrowserUk doesn't have any practial experience with an actual concurrent language. That seems to be the root cause for most of the misunderstandings.

    I'll concede one thing here--the 'can' or 'could' should have appeared within the seconds sentence, with respect to Perl--but it is valid as is for (some) other languages.


    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
