Well I do care. I think multiprocessing is a stupid abomination- it's like a person who never learned how to use threads found the threading library and decided to make a message-passing communication system with a thread-compatible concurrency library.

Message passing is fine (and it's the sort of thing that Go uses) but ultimately, leaving single-address-space multithreading completely on the table when it's the single most obvious and straightforward way to take advantage of modern processors is just dumb.
