Parallelism in Scripting Languages
Most popular scripting languages provide concurrency with threads; however, the threading models used are often limited and a bit strange. I'll discuss the threading models of several languages (Perl, Python, etc), and explain the issues behind their designs. Also, I'll talk about some ongoing efforts in this area, in particular, my work on the Parrot virtual machine.
