While it might not be Java or .Net/Mono, technologies like those are exactly how we exploit more parallelism. It's fairly easy to write thread safe code in both. Writing good parallel algorithms is a different matter, but for a lot of common applications there are real advantages just parallelizing certain tasks, just UI response is often a win, for example. (Being an OS/2er I guess you might not have minded the single input queue, you ever search in the help tool and see the whole UI freeze until it was done?) Sure, java and mono are not as fast as assembly... It's been clear as day for decades that parallelism is going to be the future, whether or not you ever want to admit it, it's the only possible way to continue to improve performance at the same rates.
