It is rather inaccurate. E.g.: «Imperative languages offer no 
protection against data races — maybe with the exception of D.»

Sounds mostly like a sales pitch for Haskell over C++, glossing 
over the main reason for why the highest performance parallell 
algorithms are risky: the actual hardware design.

If you don't want that highest speed then you most certainly can 
protect against data races for many problems in other languages, 
including C++.

This won't change until the hardware changes. Oh well, it kinda 
has, with GPU programming.
