Low Level Concurrency

Concurrency and parallelism are two concepts that are unfortunately often confused with each other. That's fine, since most high-level languages have abstraction concepts that take this cognitive burden off the shoulders of modern programmers. 

Nevertheless, it is interesting to take a closer look at the topic. Felix Winkelmann has done just that, and you should definitely not be put off by the simplistic design of his site. It's the inner values that count!

With his project MicroFLENG Felix has developed a PROLOG-derived cross-compiler that allows the implementation of concurrent logic programming on computers with extremely thin resources.

Target platforms are the Z80 in CP/M mode, the C64 and the ingenious Uxn.

An exciting topic excellently presented and some knowledge that should not be missing from a modern developers tool belt.
