Sooooooo true.  Hang out with Perlites or C++ians sometime;
you'll hear them talk about how easy it is to do networking
now, and then they start saying words like "fork" and "thread".
My point is that their accepted concurrency models involve
serious burdens in regard to performance and developmental
fragility.

Mr. Zgoda's right:  event-driven networking remains poorly
appreciated, and those of us who favor it find it MUCH
preferable to the alternatives.
