I'm very familiar with C# and I'm not talking about threads, only that multi-threading is a basic requirement and C# has a threadpool running threads in parallel.

I said that C# also uses Tasks which are scheduled onto these threads, which is what you said Julia does, so it's the same. C# can also start new threads just as easily, or use channels like Go with the TPL/Dataflow, System.Threading.Channels, actor frameworks, Reactive Extensions, or just chaining tasks together. Other than the depth-first algorithm, it seems like C# has the same capabilities as Julia and the others, if not more, and is much more "mainstream".

Can you explain how blocking functions are automatically yielded without keywords though? I cant find any documentation on this that doesnt mention the @async macro.
