This is all good, but I want to point out that threads are not the unsafe bit, the unsafe bit is shared mutable state. If you can use a model where that is not a problem (data flow arch, STM), threads cease to be scary.

Someone has to implement the data flow engine or the STM. The article is about the low-level details (read hardware memory model and basic is synchronisation primitives) required to do so.
