Is it possible that most popular programming languages lack the most efficient synchronization mechanism? Could it be that engineers at Microsoft, Oracle, and many other major companies — not to mention everyone else — have not figured out the most effective way to synchronize data access even by 2025? Is most of what programmers, including those in top IT companies (except for rare Apple platform developers), know about synchronization — wrong? Today, we will explore this in detail.
