I was under the impression that parallel and concurrent code was the dominant paradigm for programming tasks currently going in most of the semi-mainstream domains. I am certainly willing to concede that I could just be in a bubble that thinks about and designs for concurrency and parallelism as a first class concern, but it doesn’t seem that way.
I mean one of the large features/touted benefits for Rust is the single mutable XOR multiple immutable semantics explicitly to assist with problems in parallel/concurrent code, all of the OTP languages are built on top of a ridiculously parallel and distributed first ‘VM’. It strikes me as peculiar that these types of languages and ecosystems would be so, apparently, popular if the primary use case of ‘safe’/resilient parallel/concurrent code was not a large concern.
