Re:Java???? (Score 1)

Because as the article says, Java has a well defined and correctly implemented memory model that provides certain essential guarentees about ordering and memory consistency when dealing with high levels of concurrency. C++ does not (in its current form) have any well specified memory model, making his techniques impractical, if not impossible, since the behaviour is unpredictable. To acheive concurrent data structures in C++, the only way to do it safely, correctly and in a portable way, is to use locks. For this reason, you can expect to get much better performance in highly concurrent environments with Java with than you would get with C++.

The next version of C++ in development, is trying to provide such a memory model, based on Javas.
