    The Raku language (formerly Perl 6) and its underlying VM has features to support parallel programming, concurrency and asynchrony, designed to make common cases relatively easy to code and avoid pitfalls.

    Jonathan Worthington, the author of the VM and these features, has given an excellent presentation on the concepts and their implementation.
