I'm no expert on C# or VB so I can't comment on those languages.
As far as I can determine the only support for threads in standard C/C++
is the "volatile" storage class modifier. In fact, I was thinking about
C and C++ when I wrote what I wrote. Standard C and C++ have near zero
support for threads in the language.
It wasn't that long ago when it was hard to get a thread safe runtime
library for those languages.
