I don’t think the issue is even even a lack of knowledge. I don’t fault a C developer for not knowing and appreciating the intricacies of a superscalar pipelined processor using out of order execution. But when a C developer writes a multithreaded program they need to really understand why multiple threads are necessary, proper use of locking, and how it will impact the overall application. They need to look beyond their tiny bit of code and the assigned task. Unfortunately a number of developers fully expect to drive on a busy street blindfolded and successfully reach their destination.
