The “inherently” means not by default, i.e., the runtime has to support moving green threads between OS threads itself.

- cube2222 2y agoAh, that makes sense, thanks!
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 2y agoThat's not how I use "inherent", maybe they should just say "default" then? But that's like... C is also single threaded by default, what isn't?
- jayd16 2y agoThey will never be transparently/fundamentalally managed by the OS alone. The runtime will need to determine how to juggle green threads across multiple OS threads. In that way, this mapping is not inherent. It can be designed around but that itself is a runtime design decision and I would not say it's akin to default vs custom.
- recursive 2y agoWith respect, it's not particularly relevant how you use "inherent". It's a standard usage. Rather than asking the whole rest of the world to change, you should probably learn the definition.
- layer8 2y ago“Inherently” means “intrinsically”, meaning it’s a characteristic that can’t be changed without changing the nature of the thing. It doesn’t mean “by default”.
