Death to Multithreading: E

Zooko (Bryce Wilcox-O'Hearn) made it cristal clear on the e-lang mailing list:
Now, I agree with MarcS -- I believe that multithreading will go down in history next to manual memory management as one of the biggest sources of bugs ever, and as one of the biggest preventable wastes of programmer time and customer money ever. I am very excited about coding in E because I will never be forced to deal with someone else's multithreading code, to argue with a teammate about the value of multithreading, or to wrap non-blocking APIs on top of blocking APIs to modules that I need to use.
