Re: [Springnet-developer] A job for Spring.Threading?

[Griffin C. <gc...@15...>]

Hey guys,

There's actually two concurrency libs coming from MS in the future.   
One is the CCR, which is based on message based concurrency ( like  
Erlang ).  There's also ParallelFX for writing paralle code, which,  
while not directly pitched as a concurrency lib, still introduces many  
advanced concurrency concepts like Futures.  It's based on locking  
concurrency, however.

Lots going on in this space!
