Reverted several of my previous changes since Smith was aware of Sústrik's work per https://vorpus.org/blog/notes-on-structured-concurrency-or-go-statement-considered-harmful/#id7. Elizarov's work still independent.
The naming is inspired by [[structured programming]], which created higher level control-flow statements out of the very basic [[goto]]. Similarly, structured concurrency creates higher level mechanisms for concurrency constructs out of the basic concurrent task creation constructs ([[Spawn (computing)|spawn]], [[Thread (computing)|thread]]s, [[Fiber (computer science)|fiber]]s).
The concept was formulated and named "structured concurrency" in 2016 by Martin Sústrik (creator of [[ZeroMQ]])<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sústrik |first1=Martin |title=Structured Concurrency |url=http://250bpm.com/blog:71 |date=7 February 2016 |accessdate=1 August 2019}}</ref>.
