> definition of concurrency quoted from the Python wiki [0] which is imprecise: "Concurrency in programming means that multiple computations happen at the same time." Surprising to some, this is the literal definition. The word "concurrent" is a portmanteau from Latin, "con" translates as same and "current" translates as time. Concurrent literally means "same time". Comp Sci really needs to use a different word. |

I don't think it's surprising to anyone that speaks English what the definition of concurrency in everyday language is. It is not the same as the computer science definition and that's unlikely to change anytime soon. Can anyone with permission fix the Python wiki?
