False. Lots of software uses pthreads and its direct wrappers. Correctly? What does anyone ever do correctly in software? Does anyone write GUIs correctly?

False. Lots of software uses pthreads and its direct wrappers.
Correctly? What does anyone ever do correctly in software? Does anyone write GUIs correctly? Does anyone do databases correctly? Proving even simple software correct is an enormous endeavor that most pragmatic programmers simply never have the luxury to do. So proclaiming that threads are bad because nobody does them “correctly” is setting an arbitrarily high standard. Or maybe you just don’t know what that word means.
- felixgallo 8y agoAre you saying that buggy software is good because it’s widespread, and then trying to ad hominem me? Because that’s adorable both ways.
