Many programmers claim that multi-threaded programming is painfully difficult, to the point that when I say otherwise, they claim that it shows “a lack of expert knowledge.” (Obviously, I disagree with that assessment.) 😉

But just because it’s “not difficult” doesn’t mean that it’s easy. And since most people who write programs don’t have my level of experience (yet, at least), I’m cautiously in favor of this fellow’s stab at preventing such problems. I’m even more interested in the “Jinx” bug-spotter that his company is supposed to be releasing. I’ll probably never get it myself, because I don’t really have a lot of need for it, but it’s interesting nonetheless.
