An interesting aside arises from working my way through your links on STM. From section 4.4 of STM.pdf: Like high-level languages, transactional memory does not banish bugs altogether; for example, two threads can easily deadlock if each awaits some communication from the other. The oft-quoted problem with lock-based shared state is the deadlock problem. I was under the impression that STM was the cure for this. I'm disappointed to discover that's not the case. See, you gotta look under the covers :) Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
