Nice article IMHO,

Yup, and it's encouraging to see Perl 6 is heading in a good direction on
concurrency stuff at a language level too.
At a Parrot level, we can probably take advantage of having multiple cores
and perform better (even when we have single-threaded parrot programs) by
doing things like GC and/or other book-keeping tasks in a seperate thread.
Not that I'd like to claim any of that is even close to trivial.
