	~~To write concurrent programs is hard. To a large extend, this difficulty comes from a lack~~ of ~~good testing and debugging strategies. We also make mistakes when we write sequential programs, but we are better equipped to detect and correct them.~~		The inherent non-determinism of concurrent systems results in bugs that occur extremely rarely and are not reproducible.

	~~What makes dealing with~~ concurrent systems ~~more difficult is their inherent nondeterminism: the same program, on the same input, can behave differently from run to run. This~~ results in bugs that occur extremely rarely and are not reproducible~~. Such bugs can be real nightmares: There is something wrong with your system, you know it, you have seen it, but until you can make it happen again, you don’t know how to approach the problem~~.
