Concurrency might sound like a technical term, but it boils down to a program performing multiple tasks at once, as if it’s multitasking. Imagine you’re cooking: while the pasta is on the stove, you start the washing machine and charge your phone. Although you’re not doing everything at the exact same moment, it all happens smoothly side by side. Software that supports concurrency works the same way: a program can, for instance, download files, perform calculations, and send data to a server all at once. This multitasking makes the use of computing power more efficient and ensures faster, smoother performance.
