   Hot take... There is something about programming projects spending 10x (or 1000x) the effort to parallelize execution when everything is still restricted by von Neumann architecture.

      This. I don't want your browser engine to use all my cores. I want the rest of my cores to be compiling C++.

         I want all my software to use all my cores, because I'll have twice as many within 5 years.

            Will you though? I like the adage: "We used to write software like hardware will get twice as fast every 2 years. Now we should write software like hardware will get twice as expensive every 2 years."
