Having any model at all is probably most of the value and only one part of the model (consume ordering) is unimplementable fantasy so it could have been much worse, but it's hardly a triumph for a "fundamental" language is it?

Isn't Rust's solution mostly the same, just with C++20?

What would you add to make it suitable? Large SIMD operations that the compiler could split across cores?
