Like I said, your objection was based on a statement that was taken out of
context.

It seems as though 99% of the people on this list who has brought up the STM
are clearly in trouble. ;-)

Nobody said that creating code is easy, why do you think that most software
engineers are so highly paid? The fact that most people have blank stares
when explained the Java MT model means that we just need to develop better
tutorials and not things like STM which do not even come close to solving
the problem. I haven't read it, but from what I hear, Jason's book does a
good job explaining these issues.
