That makes no sense, having the exact same feature doesn't make CCL superior.

> And CCL doesn't. QED.

QED nothing, not having a gil does something, using OS threads doesn't.

> Not if you have multiple cores.

Yes if you have multiple cores as well. You just have to map your green threads onto OS threads or processes, that's what Erlang does.
