I'd love to see a modern successor to occam, or something similar that has first-class, painless multithreading.
It's strange to me that in this era of 32+ core machines, the language model is still single-threaded by default with (often significant) extra effort required to execute multiple bits of code simultaneously. Not to mention languages like python which restrict you to a single CPU core.

- voldacar 8y agoI guess so, but erlang runs in a vm that handles setting up OS threads and uses its own scheduler to manage erlang "threads" - I think that's cool and all but it would be nice to have a language that could do that more natively with less abstraction imho. Occam ran on bare metal
