Thanks for the explanation, but where is the rule in English that states that a sentence cannot have 107 words ? I see posts with far more than that everyday here.
You should probably have some kind of punctuation after the word "code", and start a new sentence after the word "Joy". But it's not worth downvoting you.

I downvoted you because your 2nd sentence consists of 107 words.
I was missing a goal to pratice my Scala so I wrote a script to find if you follow your rule, I stopped after getting something bigger than 107 words in order to not hurt HN.

To sum it up (feel free to add corrections) one guy put a blog post saying that Parallel collections had many issues, etc etc... and the reality was that he misunderstood them somehow. As one guy put it, the collections do nice work but you have to know what you are doing (not all work can be broken into fragments that can be computed in parallel). He was kind of expecting otherwise. Not saying they are perfect, just…
I used them a bit with some image processing. Was awesome to see all 8 cores pegged w/ one line of code!
Could you provide more data points?
(By the way, in C such loops can typically be parallelized by adding one OpenMP pragma.)

This is the best reply I have ever seen to a grammar nazi comment. Kudos.

Maro complained about a single sentence, not a whole paragraph.

Totally worth the downvotes my comment receives.
My general feeling is that there is a business-model problem in the tech industry. The most important technolgies are underfunded. They are created by smart people in their free time, or by companies who do not have enough money. For example I've looked at Scala's Eclipse plugin: it was a horror. It is just question of money (hiring a bunch of good developers) to create IDE support which is not totally buggy and not…
Given the amount of comments on Scala (positive or negative, that's irrelevant) I'm not so sure it will be a fringe language for long. It must be somehow relevant for so many people to spend so much time talking about it...
A lot of people spent a lot of time talking about Lisp machines, 4GL, web portals, push technologies... the list goes on.
