Quoth Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
[... wandering from the nominal topic ...]
| *) The most difficult task was writing horizontal microcode, which
| also had serious concurrency issues in the form of device settling
| times. I dealt with that by inventing a programming model that hid
| most of the timing details from the programmer. It occasionally lost a
| cycle, but the people who used it after me were *very* happy with it
| compared to the previous model.
My favorite concurrency model comes with a Haskell variant called
O'Haskell, and it was last seen calling itself "Timber" with some
added support for time as an event source. The most on topic thing
about it -- its author implemented a robot controller in Timber, and
the robot is a little 4-wheeler called ... "Timbot".
