Its a bad re-implementation of cooperative multi-tasking, which itself was considered to be obsolete when OS/2 came out in 1987, and again when Windows NT came out in 1993, and again when MacOSX came out 2001. Linux did preemptive multi-tasking from the  day it was born -- why are we trying to re-implement something that was considered to be obsolete a few decades ago?  \r\n\r\nI mean, our \"old design\" is not even clever; its sophomoric, simple-minded.  MacOS 9 at least had it's event-driven subsystem, as a way of hiding some of the evils of coop multi-tasking. Later, green-threads made good use of setjmp/longjmp to save stack contexts and emulate continuations in user-space.  Recall that even green threads have bit the dust; even that was not enough to \"do it right\".\r\n\r\nWhy, on God's green Earth, would we even vaguely want to have something like this?  What possible technical reason could there possibly be?  Is there any technical benefit to this, whatsoever?\r\n\r\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking"}}
