OK, I see ;-)
This is not well documented yet. The basic model (for the processes on a
single machine and operating on
There is obviously a misunderstanding here.
I didn't want to compare multiprocessing with thread model as
implemented say in Java! Each of them has its merits (advantages and
problems).
As you surely know there are also other models of concurrency which
are "allegedly" more p

that's a bit too general description:-) I would say that if your PC has
many cores, and your program forks OS processes
The topic of (scalable) concurrency models in the era of multicore PCs
has been of great interest recently in programming language communities.
I'm just curious about this and would like to know how PicoLisp deals with
concurrency. The (traditional) multiprocessing by forking, shared memor

picolisp doesn't do threads but uses processes and ipc instead (see

Hi folks,
I didn't find anything useful about multithreading and
concurrency model in PicoLisp by a quick search in google.
Does PicoLisp has some sort of built-in concurrency at all?
