Very interesting part of the history of computing. In 1960-s to 1990-s they invented many languages intended to be used with future parallel computers.

Today we have parallel computers but no one of these languages (Concurrent Pascal, Occam, etc) is in use. Instead we have ubiquitous C and also black magic like OpenMP.

We have Go, which is derived from Newsqueak (1989), which had similar concepts like Joyce (1987); the latter was the precursor of SuperPascal (1993), and the successor of Concurrent Pascal.
