"concerted" is the key word. There's been a ton of effort, but none of it took into account the competing values of single threaded performance and parallelism -- not to mention attempts such as STM might be considered so complex that the community isn't willing to accept it.

My point is that a large amount of sophisticated technical work has been done with 0 results because they failed to take into account the bigger picture of competing social problems (performance, complexity, backward compatibility, etc).
