In May, my students and I published a paper in Communications of the ACM, “Putting a Teaspoon of Programming into Other Subjects” (see link here) about our work with teaspoon languages.

In every single case: The worst part is that everybody on the team knows Lutz is useless yet we are all powerless to do anything about it. Lutz was clearly under performing in their very first month of employment. If I had the power, I'd have fired Lutz after a few months, because I do believe in at least offering somebody a path to redemption before letting them go. That of course would've required me to give them a heart-to-heart talk (likely more than one) and basically lay down an ultimatum which I would then have to let play out.

Concurrency gives programs the capability to execute multiple tasks simultaneously, enabling enhanced efficiency and responsiveness. It allows programs to take full advantage of modern hardware with multiple cores and processors.
In this guide, developers who are new to Rust will learn all about concurrency and how to use it. This article assumes you have basic programming knowledge but are new to Rust and its unique features.

Once upon a time, Unix computers were slow, system calls were slow, Unix kernels only cached simple things, RAM was small relative to the size of directories, $PATH often contained many directories, and your filesystems were on slow spinning rust. In that environment, 4.2 BSD's csh(1) introduced a feature where it would maintain an internal map (a 'hash') from command names like 'make' to the full path it had found for them in your $PATH. rather than search through $PATH each time. This csh feature is command hashing, and it was copied into (some) later shells, including Bash, so that they all cached the file path of commands.
