 Everything in programming is about "divide and conquer". Separate and
control. Modules. Classes. Namespaces.
 And now that multithreading with shared memory. That's an evil idea, it
causes a lot of troubles, it requires locks and semaphores, and still leads
to problems.
 Shared memory is evil. Multithreading is harmful.

 Yes. Do not spend developer's time finding bugs in locks and semaphores,
fixing race conditions, etc.

 Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
