It seems to me that in such a world any language that by default addresses 3% or less of the processing capacity will quickly loose popularity and those that embrace concurrency at a fundamental level (not another library) will become more and more relevant. IMO, Joe Armstrong in this (previously submitted) video talks a lot of sense on this issue.--> http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=351659

My motivation for posting this is simply that I would love for Arc to succeed in it's objectives. But to be a '100 year language' I imagine it would have to first thrive in the next 10 years; and to do that it must be seen as a great language for tomorrow's world and not today's. From what I've seen so far of Arc I get nothing but good vibes and it would be a shame for it to be sidelined in the multi-core rush just around the corner.

My apologies if this has been discussed before. I am new here, couldn't figure out how to search past articles and Google just returns this home page.
