I guess it depends.
I guess I’m somewhat used to the asynchronous I/O model that things like Win16 and JavaScript use. You have to think a bit more about the unpredictable order that things happen in, but not about preemption race conditions and data corruption.
The only threading model I have seen that I care for is Erlang’s. The C ... Java model is a data corruption death trap.
At that, Erlang kind of straddles the gap between independent execution and communicating sequential processes.
