What is happening regards to light parallelism (parallel for, parallel do, Parallel\_Reduce) ? I read some time ago that it had been shelved, but other things still came out of the workshop at GNAT… but not that ?
I suppose the chunk features could be hard to implement, but they could put aside and still provide the rest, no ?

I haven’t seen anything recent on it. I know someone (either Tucker Taft or maybe AdaCore itself) released a library for it. Not the same as built in language support, but something you could dig into maybe:

In the meantime, here is a light-weight-threading library that provides essentially all of the parallel features of Ada 2022, using various generics, etc. Scheduling is provided using a plug-in architecture. If no scheduler is plugged in, the light-weight threads are simply executed sequentially. If a light-weight-thread scheduler is plugged in, then the light-weight threads spawned by instances of the various gene…

It’s not like I have a immediate need for it… I’m just disappointed. It’s the kind of thing I get all tingly at the thought of using it everywhere. It’s the same thing as the pleasure of reading and writing clean mathematical proofs.
I just wish they would concentrate on this rather than pattern matching, case constructs and string interpolation ( 🤢🤢🤢).

Well, there’s the Truffle bootstrap I’m working on… which _should_ have the ability to parallelize the constructs as Truffle has a CUDA language and I plan on leveraging/interop with it to provide parallel-execution.
(Actually, if using an AST/IR interpreter, getting parallelism should be relatively easy: _just load multiple `TASK`s executing the parallel portions of the AST/IR._)

Yeah, I’m not that pleased with those directions either.
TBH, I’d rather focus on being able to [describe the type-system within the type-system](https://github.com/Ada-Rapporteur-Group/User-Community-Input/issues/104#issue-2484066177), which would also give us better proving and interfacing constructs.
