True, but functional programming is only now becoming mainstream.

I remember reading a book around 1997 about doing HPC in multicore
machines with NUMA in a Lisp like language.

The language runtime was the OS and it took care of exploring the
multicore environment, while the researchers could express higher
level algorithms.

Eventually we will get there.
