Could anyone give me some insight into concurrency

I was basically watching this video, and at some point(38:00) Alan Kay mentions why semaphores are a bad idea and why they are being used despite a much better solution provided by McCarthy. My question is: Does anyone know which technique is Alan referring to? I tried to find some resources or references but couldn't quite make it

r/programming is not a support forum.

I think he's referring to John McCarthy's work on parallel lisp / qlambda / qlisp.

I am also curious, nothing seems obviously related to the same things semaphores are for when I did a quick search.
