Thanks, people need to learn the difference between concurrency and parallelism ffs, I'm tired of explaining the difference all the time.

  It doesn't really matter how you call it. There are more important things people need learn about.

    Actually it is important to learn about, because it's possible to do parallelism without bringing in the issues of concurrency (non-determinism, synchronization) and thus write code with less potential for serious bugs.

      Learning the difference between c. and p. won't help me write less buggy software. And I think there's no clear consensus what exactly is the difference.

        It is true, however, that knowing about parallelism without (visible) concurrency is useful for writing less buggy software.
