RE: FW: Java Vs RPG on iSeries

One of my co-workers said I was scaring people... So I'm probably done now.

Sorry about that.

Don't be scared, just be cautious, threads programming is a little
more difficult (even in Java) than many people who love Java would have you
believe. Just remember to use synchronized {} when sharing data.

Here's a good (but very technical) reference.
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~pugh/java/memoryModel/

Easiest most clear for me was the "The Java Memory Model, Section 2.2.7 of
Concurrent Programming in Java, 2nd edition, Doug Lea, Addison Wesley,
1999".



"The stuff we call "software" is not like anything that human society
  is used to thinking about. Software is something like a machine, and
  something like mathematics, and something like language, and
  something like thought, and art, and information...
  but software is not in fact any of those other things."
