Some quotes from Tim Mattson:

"Automatic parallelism will not solve the problem. We can't just throw a switch and solve these problems."

"An issue that I think does not get anywhere near enough attention is the larger programming environment. In many cases what becomes the stumbling block to producing commercially viable code ... Frankly this is why I am really excited about the Microsoft environment, and seeing them getting more and more involved in this. They've led the charge on component software systems and programming environments where you can fit together multiple languages and create these secure environments where things work together."
