It's really not that hard to write multi-threaded code. I just laugh when I read articles like this - I've been doing it for more than fifteen years now. By taking a tool like that away from your team you're stunting their growth and your product.


You really didn't read the article did you?

He makes it quite clear that they (i.e. mozilla) have tried to multithread things many times and the resulting complexity has led to bit rot and increased bugginess. In that context your boasting seems inflated and inane.


To what should I give more credence - an article in which someone says something is impossible, or large, multi-threaded applications at my workplace grinding through data around the clock?

I feel like a blacksmith who's been told horseshoes are impossible to make.
