This isn't super fair. Concurrency is a big deal and many-faceted. The ideas of "practical" concurrency is way more important to perl/Perl's future than virtually any other issue. This includes Perl OOP. p5p, I agree, is not the place for most of what'd be captured on any list. Having a place for "all" to discuss it and attempt to form some good will in this area (it having been a major point of discord in the past). I've recently sought to create an openmp@ list under perl.org, but was told they are no longer creating them; but to do to any number of providers to do so. Anything I'd hope to accomplish in an openmp@ list could be accomplished in a p5-concurrency@ list somewhere that was collaborative. Off the top of my head there are many topics ripe for discussion: * ithreads * forking based things * async * "real" threads via OpenMP/pthreads bindings * perl vs Perl memory models * atomicity/sequential consistency * lots more stuff So as long as it's TIMTOWTDI, I think it's a fabulous idea. Let me know where to sign up! (#concurrency on irc.perl might be a cool idea, too; but maybe after).
