The problem with threads
After the long discussions recently on the Squeak Development list, I stumbled across a nice paper that describes the problem with threads. In the introduction, it hits the point square on, with such great paragraphs as:
To offer another analogy, suppose that we were to ask a mechanical engineer to design an internal combustion engine by starting with a pot of iron, hydrocarbon, and oxygen molecules, moving randomly according to thermal forces. The engineer’s job is to constrain these motions until the result is an internal combustion engine. Thermodynamics and chemistry tells us that this is a theoretically valid way to think about the design problem. But is it practical?
Good reading!
