 The word "concurrency" is always ambiguous when people talk about
"concurrency".

I hear the this conversation "Perl doesn't have concurrency, so Perl can't
use CPUs in parallel"

But, I know the pre-fork model Perl web applications are using CPUs in
parallel.

I think we need to properly classify concurrency(fork, thread, I/O,
CPU(OpenMP), GPU, coroutine, async/await syntax) before we say we want to
add concurrency.
