You would not want a language that abstracted away the parallelism, what
we need to develop are languages that model the parallelism of these new
architectures.  As far as I am concerned most of the recently accepted
languages (Pascal, Modula-2, Ada) are no better then FORTRAN(1) for 
implementing algorithms on these machines.  We need to develop better
languages based on parallel and data flow concepts to model these 
architectures.
