Hi,

This is an interesting article on the problems associated with concurrency and some of the current solutions.

http://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/a-dismal-guide-to-concurrency/379717628919

It mentions Clojure for a bit and says this about the general idea behind STMs -

"... STM has its own special problems, like how to perform those commit/abort/retry cycles efficiently on thousands of threads. It's fun to imagine pathological conflict scenarios in which long chains of transactions unravel like a cheap sweater."

Would anyone like to comment on how that affects the Clojure STM (if at all)?

Regards,
BG
