It is well above zero. But this is for very specific situation - parallel CSS.

I on the other hand had never had problem managing / mutating state in my multithreaded programs. I did have one situation with deadlock when interacting with Directshow signal processing. That was around 2002 I think. Took me one day to analyze and fix the code after the bug was reported. But Directshow is an incredibly complex piece with some weird behaviors. Other then that I do not recall any real problems. Btw that particular software was desktop application and written in Delphi, not even C++.

So yes to me the opinion of Mozilla's team is totally irrelevant. It is of course totally mutual but I suspect that my situation - C++ application servers is way more common than parallel CSS.

Your original assertion was:

> Multithreading is just as "relatively" easy in other compiled languages.

Maybe that is true for your case, but broadly speaking it isn't true.
