OK, but then, outside of that kind of use case, most applications are not trivially parallelizable like that. > most of the multicore programming i do is with actors with a data flow language. multicore programming is so trivial you don’t even think about it. Maybe I miscommunicated, but I don't mean that you literally are doing all these things, but that something is–some combination of the language, the runtime, and the developer. My point is that no matter who is doing it, these things have costs–runtime performance, memory use, limits on the usable data structures and programming techniques.
