What's worked in Computer Science: 1999 v. 2015
14 min read
Butler Lampson's 1999 "what worked" categories remain accurate in 2015. Parallelism stayed a "Maybe" because most programmers cannot use it. Intel added hardware for co-scheduling applications without interference, but few companies exploit it. Concurrency tools like threading and locks failed to deliver usable parallelism.
