erlang and haskell seems to have multicore capability.

What will tcl do as more apps run on 16 core box?

Carry on while dozens of trolls explode in the skies, with beautiful

You first need to write an application which can keep 16 cores busy.
After you write, or have funding for such an app: no problems.

The phrasing of your question implies that using multiple cores (using
threads) is something which is automatic and doesn't require any
programming effort. This is why I suggest you write an application
which can take advantage of threads, because it isn't a "no brainer".
With threads, you get what you pay for in programming effort. No
effort: no benefit.

Since Tcl supports threads, the ball is totally in your court.

Use thread::create fifteen times?
