Description:
Loris Cro has published a detailed YouTube video talking about the
terminology used to discuss asynchronicity, concurrency, and parallelism in our recent article about Zig's new Io interface. Our article is not
completely clear because it uses the term "asynchronous I/O " to refer to
what should really be called "non-blocking I/O ", and sometimes confuses asynchronicity for concurrency, among other errors of terminology, he says. Readers interested in precise details about Zig's approach and some of the motivation behind the design may find Cro's video interesting.
