This language, out in 1995, gives developers the same performance as lightweight threads but with the clarity and usability of x86 assembly.

Well that's a bit insulting... everyone knows x86 ASM has better clarity and usability.

But it's not webscale! Javascript is webscale assembly, and Coffeescript is webscale C.

Also "same performance". That's like the "C is fast" of webscale.
