"Under more conservative (realistic) assumptions, multicore scaling provides a total performance gain of 3.7× (14% per year) over ten years."

so in 10 years haskell maybe as fast a C/C++ program without parallelism, not exactly my definition of future proof.

But what if single core performance increases stop completely? In that case, parallelism wins out in the end as you keep adding more and more cores, given a problem amenable to parallelism.
