Talk:Concurrent programming language
Appearance
Since when is Java a concurrent programming language?! Lost Goblin 11:21, 2005 Feb 12 (UTC)
- In some sense it is and in some sense it isn't. It is, because it supports a variant of monitors, because it has a build-in notion of threads, and because there the is something called JavaSpaces. It's isn't because it's just an imperative programming language. Koffieyahoo 5 July 2005 06:40 (UTC)
Why?
Why is it the case that with so much research into concurrent programming, none of the ideas have been used practically? Is it just the inertia of existing programming models and languages, or is the some deeper reason?
