Dear programmers,
Please make neat software and games that make use of multiple cores. This single and dual core business has gone on long enough.

Unfortunately its not THAT easy to do multi-core development if you haven't been instructed on how to do it.

I remember the first time I even learned to use threads was an obstacle in and of itself. I imagine they're only going to get better, but I, personally, can't imagine having to deal with management of multiple threads across multiple cores.

Language is a big hindrance to multi-threaded / parallel programming IMO. Few of the mainstream languages make it a reasonable task, especially for small shops / solo programmers.
