Interesting distinction. Would it be fair to compare concurrent

Way too much of a fine distinction. While they are in fact different,
the point of concurrent programming is to structure programs as a group
of computations, which can be executed in parallel (however that might
actually be done depending on how many processors there are).
No. Concurrent programming is about interleaving computations in order to
reduce latency. Nothing to do with parallelism.
Jon, I do concurrent programming all the time, as do most of my peers.
Way down on the list of why we do it is the reduction of latency.
