c# offers a very convinient way to pack data access and locking into one thing. the "lock" instruction. it does hover not let you lock more that one "resource" at a time. | ||||||||

All of the "my non-Haskell language does this" comments in the thread are the same (with maybe a Rust exception). The "lock" instruction is what the article is telling you to ditch. > If the programmer forgets to lock the mutex the system won't stop them from accessing the data anyways If the programmer forgets to "lock" > and even then there's no actual link between the data being locked and the lock itself lock (thing) { return thing.contents // shared, mutable array given out freely to the world } 'contents' has no notion that it has anything to do with this "lock"ing thing. | ||||||||
