@sunfish Clearly we need to distinguish between affine parallelism and projective parallelism.

@sunfish since there is embarrassingly parallelism, is there also confident concurrency 🤔

@sunfish this actually bugs the hell out of me. The literal definition of concurrent is “simultaneous” and yet for some reason everyone in computers has decided that it means “not necessarily simultaneous”

@sunfish See also: "in general" in mathematics (always true, no exceptions) vs English (mostly true, various levels of exceptions)

@sunfish developers: concurrency and parallelism 100% identical

@sunfish concurrency: software parallelism: hardware

@sunfish I'll take this over co/contravariance any day. Parallelism: multiple things happening at the same time Concurrency: written in such a way that tasks could interleave safely All parallel programs are concurrent but not all concurrent programs are parallel :D or. something.
