Go Concurrency versus C and pthreads

  What’s special about lthread is that it allows you to

  make blocking calls and expensive computations, blocking
 
  IO inside a coroutine, providing you with the advantages 
  
  of coroutines and pthreads.

One can use the same Go style concurrency in C with libmill [1]. Another interesting choice for concurrency would be lthread [2]. What’s special about lthread is that it allows you to make blocking calls and expensive computations, blocking IO inside a coroutine, providing you with the advantages of coroutines and pthreads.

Thanks for those references; when I was searching for how to do concurrency in plain C, only pthreads came up in the results.
