How many programmers do you know put locks around polling varibles for seemingly no reason (as they are not cognizant of the memory model)?

Well, while it may appear gatekeeping, maybe those dilettante developers should be using something else instead, like BASIC?

CPython has a pleasant memory model from what I've heard :)

Aha. The other day you were arguing for education as a silver bullet /g

Were I?

So here is my argument, maybe those developers should bother to actually learn about what they are trying to do in first place.
