If imitation is the purest form of flattery, then one should appreciate Narain Gehani's (AT&T) new book, "An Advanced Introduction to C". A chapter is devoted to Concurrent C. It appears that they have adopted the Ada rendezvous concept along with the Ada identifiers / keywords (select, accept, terminate, delay, etc). -------

He wrote a book called Ada: Concurrent Programming, and I expect to make writing the C book easier, just made C look like Ada so he could transliterate the Ada book to a C book.
