A phenomenon I’ve noticed: If a proposed parallel extension to a language doesn’t provide speedups to programs that are greater than the speedups that users would get by just rewriting those programs in a different language, the extension is probably doomed.
Feel free to prove me wrong :) I’m not saying it’s good. I’m just saying what I’ve seen over and over: JavaScript (PJs), Golang, Haskell frameworks, etc.

C# and Java both support parallelism while being on a level above OCaml

And people don’t do nearly as much parallel CPU bound computation in them as opposed to C++.
