I enjoyed the presentation as a Java developer, most underlying principles are pretty transferable. Btw - Win+Enter is the culprit running Narrator. There are even utilities to remove it as it cannot be normally disabled (thanks Microsoft), but it always finds the way back, of course. :-) So anytime you get to a keyboard where win/ctrl/alt are just a bit differently shifted or switched, you get a lot of Narrator. :-) Ouch - and Win+Enter again turns it off, so it's actually not worth to fight it after all.

Mentioned "concurrency" towards end. "safety" many time (is that really "concurrency not").
I have in mind this -
