Never had a chance in a heavily imperative mindset built around 
sequential Turing machines.

But now multicore processors got true parallel processing into an 
everyday reality for millions of desktop PCs.  An oportunity is open for 
FPLs to show the value of abstracting away and reducing the use of 
side-effects in order to achieve easy parallelism through out-of-order 
evaluation as well as doing away with locks in STM...
