Sun's FORTRESS is now open source
http://fortress.sunsource.net/
Fortress code is concurrent by default and requires programmers to specify when a code section is not concurrent, which was my thinking also a few months ago.
Summary article here.
Sun has recently lost the continuation for a nice military contract for a new supercomputer architecture to IBM and Cray, and this open sourcing may have something to do with this loss.
