So how do you handle concurrency without race conditions without using isolated processes or pure message passing? Ok so you don't have thread locks, big deal, but you still have shared data structured that could be updated in a non-deterministic order depending on which file descriptor gets fired first by epoll (or whatever select thingy is being used lately).
