I think the strongest argument I ever found and which indicates the complexity involved with Concurrent programming are the following 2 articles:
1. The too much milk problem<http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B1V4iBbCJCL0OTJkY2U5MDUtMGEzNS00NGExLThkZjItYjE3MmQ4NWJmNGJm&hl=en> This is taken from publicly available lecture note. I find this example very compelling because it shows how complicated a solution to a simple problem can be. 2. Why Threads cannot be implemented as a library<http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2004/HPL-2004-209.html> These two are sufficient to convince many of the complexity of Concurrent programming. The way I try to convince people of the benefits of Clojure is by first explaining these 2 articles and then showing how easy life is with Clojure.
