Interesting article. Basically the author says that the threading model
as employed in the most popular programming languages is a bad idea.
I pretty much agree with the paper, especially as I'm a proponent of
"coarse-grained" currency, as is well-supported by Ada tasking; versus
the fine-grained concurrency that I'm sensing is becoming the
"conventional wisdom" for where computer performance improvements are
going to have to come from next.
