Will Parallel Code Ever Be Embraced?
-
The advent of the many-core era is not going to push developers to write more parallel code. That hasn't happened as we've gone from 1- to 2- to 4- to 8-core processors, has it? Writing parallel code is not the problem. So, let's stop trying to fix it.
Parallel programming is getting easier, but it's not clear most programmers need it at all.

Thanks for the heads up, guys. Links should be fixed now.

First, people should first learn to program properly using callbacks - especially on the client side this sort of parallel (concurrent?) code greatly alleviates the need for multi-threading - and is dearly needed for most programmers, in web development. Second, parallel code is easy, as long as you partition your data adequately. If all your threads want to access all your data all of the time, you're embracing congested programming instead.
