Erlang has features for this baked in. What's more, if initialization of any subcomponent fails (say one of its dependencies hadn't completed booting yet due to race condition), if the author made it throw, the dependent subcomponent will automatically restart itself and try again. There are also one line strategies for trying again later, etc, so you don't even have to worry about blocking to prevent those race conditions. > Kind of surprised python doesn’t as this sort of pattern is common in applications dealing with concurrency Well yeah, python was not designed for that.
