Java has excellent multithreading facilities. Still, I have seen
seasoned Java developers commit atrocious crimes against thread-safety
that are impossible to troubleshoot and repair afterwards.

There are ways to manage the complications of multithreading, but no
universal practices are agreed upon so you can't count on other/legacy
software to obey your policies or your software obey theirs. And even
under the best guidelines there are seemingly intractable cornercases
where you feel helplessly lost.
