What? Threads are Hard?

This is a presentation on the difficulties of writing thread safe code
in mainstream programming languages. We look at the problems that can
occur, and how several non-mainstream languages deal with the issues.

This presentation has been given under several different names:

  • “What the Enterprise Could Learn From Your Mom” — erubycon, 2008
  • “What Every Rubist Should Know About Threads” — RubyConf, 2008
  • “What? Threads are Hard?” — CodeMash, 2009
