Article persuasive prima facie and arguments plausible. I've had to reinvent a structured method of managing threads a number of times, unfortunately.
Author is a PhD student, which bodes well for not reinventing wheels dumbly. Therefore, I look forward to the lit review of other concurrency & parallelism work through the last 40 years, which this writeup notably lacks (author mentions his stack of papers to review).
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
ed: author has phd, not is a student.

- pnathan 9y agoI hesitate to say that's all they did. There's a context & concept of structuring concurrency that they are building.
- coldtea 9y agoIn the sense that a car is a reinvention of a horse buggy.
- eridius 9y agoIn what way? Nurseries sound like they're exactly the same thing as a Rust scoped threadpool with a 'static lifetime. Not some sort of super modernization like you're suggesting.
