Well, C++ already kind of has, thanks to Intel's TBB and Microsoft's PPL and Agents libraries.
Intel's Cilk you also provides interesting extensions to C and C++, and they look pretty much like Go's ideas. -- Paulo "Russel Winder" <rus...@russel.org.uk> wrote in message news:mailman.180.1305441718.14074.digitalmar...@puremagic.com...

Indeed. Having said that, whatever may be wrong with Go (and actually I think there is a lot), the Channels/Goroutines system is a significant improvement in programming language technology. Hopefully soon C++ will have something not dissimilar (cf. Anthony William's work on Just::Thread Pro), and D will add dataflow and CSP to the actor and data parallelism stuff it already has. Actors, dataflow, CSP and data parallelism are all subtly different and serve different purposes in different applications and systems. Having just one model of concurrency and parallelism stunts usage. This lesson is rapidly being learned in Scala. GPars rocks (cf. http://gpars.codehaus.org). But then I would say that wouldn't I. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@russel.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
