Yeah, I saw that some time ago. Their conclusion is basically: "it's hard to integrate with the current ecosystem so we're giving up".

He doesn’t want to read all the research text, especially if it debunks his assertions. Your effort, although appreciated, is wasted on this kind of person.

I've read it. It was not impressive. They prioritized backwards compatibility which is of course their prerogative.

But that's not how you progress.

Having proper M:N parallel runtime is mandatory these days and it baffles me that there people who are still not sold on it. I take it they have jobs and tasks where it isn't necessary but it's an interesting question to ask: for how long?
