And the biggest issue all these languages will have to address would be -- scalability. How do you make it easier for compiler to generate code for 128+ core CPUs and 1000+ nodes cluster. That's a [multi]million dollar question, not how assignments and such are encoded in the source file. Thanks, Roman.
