Frances E. Allen discusses the challenges and techniques of parallelizing Fortran programs for shared-memory parallel computers.
Optimizing Compilers for Parallel Computers, lecture by Frances E. Allen. The video was recorded in August 1994. From university Video Communications' catalog: "The challenge for optimizing compilers of parallel computers is to deliver the performance potentials while providing portability and easy enablement of applications. This lecture focuses on a subset of this challenge: the parallelizing of "dusty-deck" FORTRAN programs for shared-memory, parallel computers. Technologies for program analysis, the formation of parallelism, and program transformations are described along with a brief overview of the relationship of parallelization to other components of parallel software systems, in particular, to traditional optimization, operating systems, and application-enablement environments. The lecture concludes with a list of open problems." Lot number: X6636.2013 Catalog number: 102624674Why it's here

On “Equality, Dependent Types, and Typechecking”
I and others have spent some time thinking about this problem. I think it is very possible—and that our current predicament results largely from social factors—but it is not trivial and I don't think that's a useful response. See for example fran allen giving effectively the same admonishment nearly 30 years ago—we've barely gotten anywhere since.
