If you traveling into the field of concurrency, you have to change the mindset. You should pick different abstractions for that. And collections is one which you should leave to grow in single-threaded woods. Or.. of course.. you can attempt to make them thread-safe.. But it will be clumpsy , rigid and very error prone. > Regards, > > -Martin > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
