NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Concurrency is a difficult problem and increasingly difficult to avoid. Hardware isn’t getting faster but multicore platforms are becoming the norm, with even mobile phones containing two or more processors. Concurrency abstractions and patterns -- which are not new, but less widely known -- are helping address many of the challenges seen in this space. In particular the models seen in Clojure, Erlang, Retlang and Event Patterns offer a more testable and reliable approach than the better known threads, locks and semaphores.
