Hi,
This is an interesting article on the problems associated with
concurrency and some of the current solutions.
http://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/a-dismal-guide-to-concurrency/379717628919
It mentions Clojure for a bit and says this about the general idea
behind STMs -
"... STM has its own special problems, like how to perform those
commit/abort/retry cycles efficiently on thousands of threads. It's fun
to imagine pathological conflict scenarios in which long chains of
transactions unravel like a cheap sweater."
Would anyone like to comment on how that affects the Clojure STM (if at
all)?
Regards,
BG
