>From what I understand, OpenMP is still a niche technology, used primarily on massively parallel architectures, for subatomic particle simulations and that sort of thing. Interesting, yes. But useful? That's debatable.
Also, the OpenMP specification relies heavily on preprocessing directives and other language features so its not like most conventional technologies for concurrent programming such as the traditional library API. It's something of a paradigm shift.
