Re: Mutex's, sheesh

For any serious program ten years from now, Python isn't going to cut
it. Not because it's not scalable enough, but I think the very concept
of scalability is going to change. A language should really be
agnostic as to how many computers its running on and storing its data
on, and it should be agnostic as to where those computers are on the
Internet. Any language with a threading model is broken by design.

It's like when the Python guys realized they didn't want to care how
many bits were in an Integer, so they just made it a big number by
default. You shouldn't care about mutex's and locking. It's just silly
and backwards.
