It isn't really. There have been plenty of innovations in parallel computing:

* Go, with goroutines and heavy use of channels.

* Rust which is free of data races and generally improves the safety of multithreaded programming via Sync, Send and just safer APIs (e.g. Mutex).

* Chapel, which is a language designed primarily for multithreaded and multiprocess computing.

Those are just the ones I know about. There's obviously way more.
