The closer you look at ideal parallelism, the more it feels like a mirage.
But frameworks like Apache Flink or Beam do a solid job for stream processing.
And hey, sometimes throwing more cores at the problem *does* work—until it doesn’t.
Quantum? Cool, but not relevant for most of us today.

Ideal parallelism is a nice thought experiment, but real-world systems are too messy.
That said, languages like Go and Elixir make parallelism *feel* easier, even if it’s not perfect.
And yeah, quantum is a whole different beast. Maybe one day, but not today.
