Just idle curiosity, anyone any opinions on Concurrent C
a language which looked very exciting in the early 1990s
but which never seemed to go anywhere - perhaps it was a
distant ancestor of alef?

I looked at some alef again yesterday, it looks like a nice
language, though its probably the braces around for's expressions
that my C eyes yearn for (wrt go).

libdispatch is in FreeBSD now, and people are using it to write concurrent C
code.  I think they even have blocks, and the clang compiler front end
working too.  I believe the earliest, least-experimental branch of code is
 FreeBSD-STABLE for the 8 series, but I'll double check.
