So, which is it?

Erlang, Ocaml, Mozart/Oz, Clean, Rudy, D, Occam, Concurrent Haskell, Concurrent C... I have (and try to use after some fashion) all but the last three.

And funnily enough, the existence of all those is (another) pretty good argument for why it is important to speak up now for good support of threading in Perl6 and its underpinnings.

I don't see any flame war (with the exception of one named monk and one anonymonk--who could well be the same person.)

I see an important debate to counter the "thread is spelt F-O-R-K" mentality that is so pervasive in the Perl, Parrot & Unix communities that are playing such a big part in shaping the future of my preferred language. Which, incidentally, happens to also be the subject and reason for existance of this place.

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?

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
