Concurrency Overview Why threads are evil.

[画像:Pipelined Send Diagram] Event Loop Philosophy: What would F.A. Hayek (the economist) say?

Semi-Transparency: Distributed programming is different, but not too different.

The Vat: Process-like aggregate of objects. Fails separately.

Distributed Queuing: Message-flow within and between vats.

Reference Mechanics: How do I designate thee? Let me count the ways.

Message Passing: Call-return and the eventually operator.

Vat Turns: Atomic micro-transactions

Partial Ordering: Just enough distributed sequentiality.

EIO: You mean I can't block on a read? What kind of I/O library is that?

Besides local concurrency, this section sets the ground for the next -- distributed programming.
