They are (lightweight) processes since they have no shared memory. Each process has its own stack and heap.

Would it be possible to create a programming language that allows you to write branching programs, but is guaranteed to compile it into branchless code?

I tried to run these commands. It downloads python@3.13.1, but then hangs without producing any output. However, it seems to work for

New comment by klas_segeljakt in "You don't want to hire "the best engineers""

It brings Steve Jobs' quote to mind: "It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do. We hire smart people so they can tell us what to do"

Companies who generically look for "the best engineers" think their problems will be solved if they can just hire someone smart and tell them what to do. They say they want "the best engineers" but then their job descriptions and interview processes scream "we want someone who will execute our vision exactly as we've defined it."

The best engineers will tell you why your architecture is wrong, why your code sucks, why your timeline is unrealistic, and why your product decisions make no technical sense. If you're not ready for that level of pushback, you don't actually want the best engineers.

It's not only about showing off syntax. It's also about showing what type of applications the language makes easy to implement.

New comment by klas_segeljakt in "Asynchrony is not concurrency"

This talk gives a good distinction between asynchrony, concurrency, parallelism, scheduling (cooperative, preemptive)
