All,
That was very well explained, folks. Personally, I think that the
area of the manual describing concurrency in Chuck is a little bit
thin. It would really help people new to Chuck (like myself) to have
a series of examples of what can be done with the concurrency
features, syncing, & c. It's one of Chuck's most important and
powerful features.
Maybe we could add a little section of the Wiki for concurrency
examples? Chuck/Programs/Concurrency or something like that.
I wish I had some examples of sporked shreds sharing data with each
other, for instance.
Just thinking out loud...
