People shouldn't make claims like that honestly. It makes be discount the language almost immediately because I know I can't really trust what's written about it on its site.
Furthermore, there's tons and tons of parallel C code. Probably more than any other language. Almost any decent C library is reentrant. Many of major C projects (mostly thinking of server software and operating system kernels) are threaded.
Actually, it's entirely parallel, unless you only have one core. In a typical OS (like Linux), the scheduler runs on each core and selects which task to run next on that core.
People should also understand generalization, though.
That there's "tons and tons of parallel C code" doesn't matter.
Parallelization is built-in into this language. It is not built-in, as a first class language feature, in C.
A lot of C projects, such as servers, are indeed threaded, but threads are also so last century.
Different paradigms (like in Erlang) are better to parallelize, easier to write, more performant, and much much less confusing to debug than threads. Heck, even no-side-effects functional language programming is better to parallelize than C with threads.
Sorry, I missed it at the time. BTW I wanted to avoid a double submit and I have been looking for some "search" box without success, it is probably obvious once you know where it is, where is it?
"Faster than C ... as most C programs being single threaded and ANI being inherently multithreaded."
in terms of South Park it is a Chewbacca argument.
Another example of it would be - "C is smarter than Python because most of programs in C is smarter than ones in Python." (C and Python choosen randomly as i have no idea about Python :)
