As you mention, what right do we have to make such a global statements.

"I still feel" that we need to develop languages that model parallel 
constructs.  I am not saying develop something that models just a cube or 
just a data flow machine.  "I think" we need to develop a few languages that 
allow us to express parallel statements as easily as sequential languages 
FORTRAN, C, Ada (mostly), force us to think in terms of Von Neumann type 
machines.

These are the opinions of someone who has been coding parallel routines 
for a set of parallel dataflow chips(NEC7281's) in a parallel dataflow 
assembly language.  I want a High Level Parallel Language HLPL.
