I can only agree here, though I think the article would be much better, if the author had clearly specified his universe of applications. > We move data around, transform it, perhaps do some calculations from time to time, and finally store the results in a database or display them on the screen. If it's just limited to this, then I could partially agree. But I can't agree at all to the following statement: > There are difficult multithreading scenarios, just as there are difficult scenarios in the single-threaded world. But those are relatively rare. Adding some "magic" patterns and guidelines won't make synchronization issues go away.
