I agree.  It is quite distressing to me that when I talk about using X to run
simultaneous jobs on a dozen CPUs, people stare at me like I have two heads.
I don't even tell them about RPCs and tossing threads out onto the network, I
am afraid they would burn me as a witch.  I think that part of the problem
is that there really is no _good_ language for programming that sort of thing.
Modula-3 looks like a step in the right direction.
