Matsu, the creator of Ruby, said in the next 10 years, 64 or 128 cores
desktop computers will be common, it's nearly impossible to simply
write that many threads, it should be done automatically, so maybe
functional language will do a better job in parallel programming than
procedural language like C or Ruby.
