Concurrency paradigm shift


Check this up - JAOO 2007. Channel9 interviewers highlight the fact that we might be facing paradigm shift. In their opinion hardware has not changed dramatically over past 20 years mainly adding processing speed and decreasing sizes...

This supported statically typed, imperative languages. Now, when the limits seemed to be touched, multicore technology is being rolled out, which will bring the revolution. The era of functional languages and dynamic typing seems to come upon us ;)
