      A great number of bugs occur simply due to developers need to create their own
      concurrency constructs on top of Java's very low-level non-oo concurrency
      constructs or using the Java's primitive constructs directly (necessitating a
      high-degree of domain knowledge in regard to concurrency issues in both
      cases).

      By creating a standard concurrency library, the comparatively few concurrency
      experts can provide the typical developer a higher-level, debugged, object-
      oriented aid in the development of concurrent applications. The design
      patterns and documentation that would accompany this library would also help to
      increase the awareness and base level knowledge that the typical developer
      would have regarding concurrent programming.

      JSR-166 is developing such a library through the JCP.
