Ask HN: How to distinguish between concurrent, parallel, sync and async
I have seen all four terms used interchangeably. I know this sounds repeated, but I want a little more specific answer. I have already done my research. I found quite satisfactory results[0] explaining what each term meant. But what is still not clear to me, is how exactly would we differentiate them if we had to represent them through a Venn diagram.
My current understanding is the following -
1. All parallel things are concurrent, but all concurrent things are not parallel.
2. No synchronous things are asynchronous, and vice-versa.
3. Some synchronous things are concurrent, and some synchronous things are parallel.
4. All asynchronous things are concurrent, but only some asynchronous things are parallel.

My question is whether my current understanding of the difference is correct. If not, how must they be categorized and why?
[0]: I watched Rob Pike's video on Concurrency is not Parallelism - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV9rvDllKEg. And the following response on Reddit explaining the difference between synchronous and asynchronous code - https://www.reddit.com/r/computerscience/comments/ow1336/comment/h7d1h9d/ I have tried to summarize my findings in a blog post if you're willing to go through it - https://www.kush.in/post/a-sink-and-a-weight_1
