The irony is that the term "lock" is just a metaphor that produces a useful name. But, a lock in code does not model a real world lock. A lock is designed to restrict access to a resource to one process thread at a time. This is not modeling real world objects. This is organizing code by having a fixed interface and multiple different implementations. It's a code organization tool that allows code to be decoupled, not a tool for modeling real world objects. n/n
