No, you're being downvoted because fine-grained parallel programming in C++ is really hard, but you're saying that it's not.

Wow, I said what?

Also while I hate to be the harbinger of bad news, parallel programming in any language is Really Hard(tm) for most people. Personally, I think there's a fundamental disconnect in how human cognition perceives the world on the one hand and massive parallelism on the other at which very few people I have met really excel relative to the larger population.
