W.r.t parallelism, I'll copy here something I wrote elsewhere in this thread:

"I don't know for sure that this is possible yet, but I believe that the processor would be able to estimate the amount of work required to evaluate an expression. Using this ability, it would be able to automatically parallelize the evaluation of an expression by splitting it up into pieces of approximately equal size and then distributing them to sub processors."
