We want a single-crowned cccy tech

After reading _Java Concurrency in Practice_ by Goetz et al, I have come to think that current Java concurrency technology is double-crowned. One is thread safety, which is naturally convincing as a programming rule and care. Another is visibility, which is nothing but an issue borne by optimization artifacts from underlying low-level systems.

I think the visibility issue should be completely transparent to the user of high-level language. Programmers suffering and taking much care for such issue is felt quite unreasonable and counter-productive because they/we just want write code in a human-readable language which could be run as its natural, or common sense, semantics could assume.
