>Why Threads Are A Bad Idea (for most purposes).
> This was an Invited Talk at the 1996 USENIX Technical Conference (January 25, 1996).
> The talk compares the threads style of programming to an alternative approach, events,
> that use only a single thread of control.
> Although each approach has its weaknesses, events result in simpler,
> more manageable code than threads,
> with efficiency that is generally as good as or better than threads.
> Most of the applications for which threading is currently recommended
>(including nearly all user-interface applications)
> would be better off with an event-based implementation.
> The slides for the talk are available in PowerPoint or PDF format.
> There isn't a written paper that corresponds to this talk.
