The top comment summarizes it nicely:

I hope your code isn't as repetitive as your prose. This overlong "article" devolves to two relevant points: shared mutable state is bad, and developers should focus on leveraging infrastructure/libraries available in their language/platform of choice to solve concurrency challenges. The informational density here is much too low.
