Asynchrony is not concurrency

IMO the author is mixed up on his definitions for concurrency.

Keep in mind that you can’t really express half the concepts in lamport’s papers in most languages. You don’t really talk about total and partial clock ordering when starting a thread. You only really do it in TLA+ when designing a protocol.

That being said, I agree we don’t need a new term to express “Zig has a function in the async API that throws a compilation error when you run in a non-concurrent execution. Zig let’s you say that.” It’s fine to so that without proposing new theory.
