To me, the title seems a bit extreme, but I think of it as really just synchronous programming. True threaded programming is difficult. I find modern closure syntax, where closures can access parent contexts, to be the most effective way to write concurrent stuff. In either case, you still need to worry about things like thread contention/locks and whatnot. Those of us, of a certain age, can remember “refCon” (reference context) parameters. I haven’t had to use one of those, in ages.
