I agree entirely but my statements were about parallelism and not concurrency. Parallel and concurrent programming have wildly different characteristics and solutions. I don't believe shared mutable state is overly problematic in the context of parallelism. Indeed, I think it is usually the best solution in that context.
Interesting distinction. Would it be fair to compare concurrent programming to the bricks used to build the parallel program's edifice?
