granted, language-design may still need some work to find an ideal
programming model for working with concurrent systems, but I still
more suspect it will probably end up looking more like "existing
language with better concurrency features bolted on" than "some
fundamentally new approach to programming" (like, say, C or C++ or C#
or ActionScript or similar, with message-passing and constraints or
similar bolted on).
actually, Erlang seems to have solved a lot of the issues - functional
language, shared-nothing actor model, run-time environment optimized for
massive (and distributed concurrency) - the few other folks who've made
some strides (e.g., some of the Scala and Haskell folks) seem to be
copying from Erlang - really amazing stuff
another issue I can think of:
how does Tilera compare, say, with AMD Fusion?...
can't talk knowledgeably here
