>I would think that making SIMD, parallelism, and multiple simple loops instead of one bigger loop much easier to program around would be much more realistic. Something like a fusion of ISPC, Rust, C++11, and Julia. What about functional programming? IMO the biggest benefit from programming without state is that order of execution does not matter. Thus programs can be parallelized trivially. Under the hood you end up with "multiple simple loops" without really even trying. I think when more people catch onto this, we're going to see a rise in functional language usage because of how easy it makes parallelism.
