Concurrency
When tracing a program or thinking about how it runs, instead of thinking about a program counter, I often think of a spark or an electron traversing the thread of control like electricity on a wire. This is the sequential nature of procedures. However, what if a program were written in a language that was not limited to one spark or a few explicitly forked/spawned sparks but instead was inherently concurrent such that each procedural fragment presumed its own spark, even small programs having many concurrent sparks?
