> no languages with mutable state that I know of offer concurrent integer and concurrent structs
Java does for integer http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurren...
You can find similar classes in the java.util.concurrent.atomic package. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurren...
I'm not sure what requirements you have for a concurrent struct, but Java has classes to atomically manipulate int and long fields of a class.
I'm not arguing your general point (in fact, I agree with it), I'm just supplying some extra information of a language that you apparently don't know.

It probably does, it's just an unintuitive interface. Read the explanation on the page by clicking the question mark (or read my explanation here on HN in response to the now deleted comment).

I know, I had trouble with that as well, but then I read the explanations you get if you click the question mark in the upper right corner. I will try my own explanation here.
Type your answer in the box, if you type 2 or more characters, there will be an auto complete list of matches.
If nothing happens when you choose an answer, then it's wrong.
When you choose the right answer, it will immediately switch to the next question.
If you don't know the answer you can click Forfeit or press Esc. To get rid of the correct answer that pops up when you do so and go to the next question, you have to press Esc (I didn't find a way to go to the next answer just by clicking with the mouse).

No, they are different companies. Also, Nokia bought Scalado last year: http://www.scalado.com/display/en/2012-06-14+Nokia+to+acquir...

If you hover that button with your mouse pointer you can read the following explanation:
Send three "heap-minimize" notifications in a row. Each notification triggers a global garbage collection followed by a cycle collection, and causes the process to reduce memory usage in other ways, e.g. by flushing various caches.

If you view the page with Firefox version <= 22, that paragraph is blinking, very easy to notice :-) (annoyingly easy!)

That was supposed to be switched on by default in Firefox 22, but Mozilla noticed some issue with it. The feature is there in FF22, but you have to switch it on yourself. If you you want to know more about the issues, you can read what Brendan Eich had to say:

I know that the release notes still says Firefox Beta when I submit this, but my browser just updated itself to version 23. The beta release notes usually are pretty accurate when it comes which features will be in the next stable version.
I believe the new baseline compiler is included in this release as described here:

If that is the case it's the most interesting new feature for me, but I'm a compiler guy :-)
