Guy Steele did the keynote on parallelism [1] at the Strange Loop [2]
conference in which he said that he could do it over Fortress [3]
would have been modeled on Haskell rather than Fortran. The relevant
portions are between 49:36 - 49:50. Thought it might interest readers
of this list.

Has not Erlang done it over a decade ago? Finalizing the answer to the question once and for all?
Who needs "parallelism" when instruments like Erlang exist, open-sourced, so the tools are yours
just for the asking (or even without - stretch your arm and take it).

The ideas in Erlang are absolutely first-rate, and other languages can only reimplement the same,
with a better or worse degree of success.

SO, again: who needs your pitifull attempts at solving parallelism after Erlang solved it years ago?!

Erlang is about concurrency, not parallelism.

[anonym_mouse]

aha. Your answer is a bit too anti-lamer for me.
Can you define "concurrency" versus "parallelism",
and maybe enlighten me as to their interrelation.

Which would be a subset of which? What would be
the purpose of a 'concurrent' program vs a 'parallel'
one?

And what is a buzzword and where the engineering
substance lies in this case?
