Getting to Know Immutable Data Structures Part 1(dotnet.dzone.com)

submitted by volume4(910) 3 years, 11 months ago

When asking the question how does functional programming help me with concurrent programming? The standard response tends to be functional programming use immutable data structures, read-only data structures can be shared between threads without issues, end of problem. Except it isn’t. Immutable data structures have a different set of problems associated with them when working on concurrent problems. This post will examine what these problems are, and then show that this is just a special case of a more general set of problems when working with immutable data structures. Finally will start taking a look at how we solve some of these problems, but in a single thread environment first of all.
