Do any functional languages support divide-and-conquer natively?

Yes: the ability to create new higher-order functions in libraries.

Automatic parallelism is not as easy as it might seem. The problem with this is that if partitioning is done automatically, there's the risk of overpartitioning (too many partitions), which would add too much overhead, or underpartitioning, which would not take proper advatange of all the cores in your CPUs. Figuring this out statically (i.e.

At compile-time) is quite difficult, which is why it's usually left to the developer to annotate where to parallelize.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
