Yes, threads are pains in the ass, but many people appear to enjoy them nonetheless. That's pretty much the entire reason that languages have threading support.

- justinsb 15y agoI definitely agree. But the Python crowd seems very opposed to threads on many levels, and I think there's a place for a language which deliberately excludes the complexity of threading.
- MostAwesomeDude 15y agoOur opposition mainly comes from the idea that threading is not worth it; the gains in parallelism don't make up for the maintenance and debugging costs.
