We have a very powerful concurrency mechanism but no support for physical parallelism yet. What this means is that it is easy to write programs containing many things that seem like they're happening simultaneously (eg. video games and multi-user web servers), but you don't get a speed boost for having multiple processors yet.

The standard library currently only provides basic IO, primitive types and collections. We will be attaching a gui library, opengl library, networking library, and regex library soon.
