Linux has entire Usenet heirarchies to discuss its development.
Is there some reason why those heirarchies are not the appropriate
place for such discussions?
My "apps" work in Linux (no reason they shouldn't -- I wrote them
in standard C after all), but they do not use multithreading.
Linux is a unix-like operating system. Unix has been around for
more than 30 years, and many many Unix programs were written without
threads. Has someone discovered a new Church-Rosser Theorem, that
these days "threads" have to be added into the model of what
is computable or not? Or is what you are saying that programming
is no longer about what is being computed and is instead about
the "user experience", and all those programs that used to
-compute- something are just living on life support?
