I'm telling you it's going to be functional programming. Myself, I am going to begin exploring Haskell, Erlang, and F# and I hope to document all of my little exploits and such here. I'll learn a bit and share a bit. If I get really ambitious you may also see some F# code pop up here as well.
What's the next big thing in parallel?

Together with almost everything that seems to be building within this specific area, your perspectives are actually rather exciting. However, I appologize, because I can not give credence to your entire plan, all be it exciting none the less. It seems to everybody that your opinions are not totally validated and in reality you are generally your self not thoroughly certain of the argument. In any event I did take pleasure in examining it.
A true statement. I wrote this posting quite a long time ago. The basic message is that functional programming has some attractive features that could play nicely with parallelism. On the other hand, functional languages are such a change from the norm that they will take some time to learn. It's nice to see that modern languages are combining both OOP and functional features (think Scala).
