> The computers are not getting much faster anymore True for each core on a CPU (broadly) but not true for the computer as a whole unit, we've seen an explosion of core counts on x86 desktops/laptops over the last 5 years (helped by the resurgent AMD forcing Intel to stop putting out incremental upgrades to 2C/4T on laptop and 4C/8T on desktop every year). > People writing code that has to manage resources besides memory have found that, given the right core language facilities, managing memory too is no bother, If we assume that it is 'no bother' as stated that doesn't address the 8C/16T elephant in the room in that for maximum throughput on a modern machine we need to orchestrate running across multiple cores properly and that's a tougher problem to crack in a general purpose popular language without an explosion in complexity to the programmer.
