Swift: A parallel scripting language

I have opened a forum for "Swift", a parallel scripting language from Argonne National Labs and U of Chicago. One of the authors is Ian Foster, a giant within the field of distributed computing. In my opinion he has written one of the better books on parallel programming called "Designing and Building Parallel Programs".

So for Swift to work we will first have to port Java on epiphany cores. I am waiting for my parallella board (now delayed), when I get it I will probably start hacking on this part.

For Java this book was interesting for me "Building Parallel Programs: SMPs, Clusters & Java" - good book about parallel programing in Java. The programs that were used in book would be interesting to run them on parallella board.

Hm, now I will have to get the book you recommended, you got me interested, but first I want ot read "C++ Concurency in Action", to get understanding from c++ on concurency not only from the Java side of concurrency.
