Why is concurrency important?  Do you really work on 64 core platforms all
the time?  Erlang and friends seem like a language from the year 2020 when
we'll all have 1000 cpus in all our laptops.   Right now I don't see a
need for it.

Furthermore, the holy grail of parallel computing is to *automate* all the
parallelization.  I've heard IBM is making inroads towards this with their
cell processors.  In that case perhaps we can bolt on "automatic
parallelization" to Python instead of learning a new language and
techniques.
