There is at least one simple test, whether a language is prepared for 
parallel execution: the computation of the parallel or: por.

por( arg1, ..., argn)
- evaluates all of its arguments simultaneously
- returns true as soon as one of its arguments turns out to be true
- stops all evaluations of its arguments, that are still running, as 
soon as it returns.
