Shouldn’t we be tempted to recode these programs in functional languages, flip the autopilot switch, lean back, have a beer, and leave the parallelizing to them?

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Pure functional languages cannot be the whole story for parallel programming because they fail to provide needed expressivity.claim0.783
  Argument that recursion equations are inappropriate for many important parallel programs.
• Parallel programming needn't be terribly difficult, but 'thinking in simultaneities' as in message-passing is calculated to make it difficult.claim0.762
  Asserts that Linda's uncoupled style reduces cognitive load.
• Dynamic programming languages seem to spend much of their time looking up behaviour associatively.claim0.760
  An observation motivating the associative model as a unifying primitive.
• We hope that programs using performatives will be easier to write, understand, debug, modify and (above all) verify.hypothesis0.753
  Hope expressed about the benefits of Elephant-style programs.
• a basic difficulty [of non-functional languages] is that they are very long winded, in terms of the amount one has to write to achieve a given effect.quote0.751
  From Turner (1982), cited to represent the functional programming community's view and then refuted.
• A vanilla hook-based approach, as in all previous libraries, fails to intervene on any recurrent or state-space modelclaim0.751
  Technical claim justifying pyvene's state-variable hook tracking for recurrent model support
• Explicitly parallel programs are not inherently harder to design or understand than functional specifications.claim0.749
  C-Linda DNA comparison is comparable in length and clarity to Crystal; pragmatic runtime granularity control outweighs compiler optimization ideals.
• Are the operations that create and control parallelism best left in the programmer’s hands, or should they be turned over to the compiler?question0.746
  Central design question underlying the comparison with functional approaches.
