I fully agree that there's a time and place for explicitly sequential code. I just think that it's safer for everyone if it's explicitly marked as being sequential, so compilers know that most optimizations are now off-limits.
- benlorenzetti 9y agoThis seems like a reasonable compromise if people are interested in a language that can do both. Using C's syntax, a language could modify the semantics of terminators , ; : to indicate strict/total ordering of statements.
