Cooperative switching hasn’t been this cool since 1985! /s


I've been trying hard not to be snarky :-) It's pretty amazing how old things become new as a combination of 1) people not knowing about it and 2) it being given a new name. The first one is a bit sad and speaks volumes about our collective lack of education as an industry. I gladly include my self in that indictment by the way. I only console myself with the fact that the things I don't know (but should) is probably greater than what could fill my (mostly useless) 4 year CS degree. Of course I graduated a long time ago... I'm a bit worried that as people get into this industry in less traditional ways we are gradually losing the sight of the fact that there really is something important to learn.


Modula-2 co-routines FTW! :)
