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.
