It does, in at least two different ways: 1. via `places` - basically spawning a new OS-level process and communicating with it. Has an advantage of being able to talk to processes on other machines. 2. via `futures` - OS-level threads, which insert synchronization points automatically where necessary. You have to structure your code in a particular way to make them not to sync, at which point you get a safe parallelism within a process. You get a future visualizer which helps in finding unsafe (syncing) memory accesses. So the support for parallelism may be nowhere near Erlang or Pony, a bit worse than Java and a bit better than Python or Ruby.
