Nice piece of work, but:

> This is an immature concept

I believe the author meant an immature instance of an old concept, certainly.

Just spend an afternoon looking into the literature about parallel programming languages, data flow programming languages, or flow-based programming languages, and you will realize that this is certainly not an immature concept. Research in that spaces has been going on since at least since the early 70s.

Well I'm glad you nitpicked what he wrote even though you knew what he meant. I'm sure he appreciates it.

He's cited several older languages, so it's pretty obvious that he's aware of some of the historical happenings related to parallelism.

Edit: he or she, or whatever

It's a he

With hindsight he's a he :)

What he did with the syntax suggests that being aware of something doesn't imply understanding much of it.
