Appendix B. Brief comparison of concurrency libraries
Concurrency and multithreading support in programming languages and libraries aren’t something new, even though standardized support in C++ is new. For example, Java has had multithreading support since it was first released, platforms that conform to the POSIX standard provide a C interface for multithreading, and Erlang provides support for message-passing concurrency. There are even C++ class libraries such as Boost that wrap the underlying programming interface for multithreading used on any given platform (whether it’s the POSIX C interface or something else) to provide a portable interface across the supported platforms.
For those who are already experienced in writing multithreaded ...
