2.8 For Loops Are Parallel by Default

Here is an example of a simple for loop in Fortress:

C++

for i ← 1 : 10 
   print(i " ")
end

This for loop iterates over all elements i between 1 and 10 and prints the value of i. Expressions such as 1 : 10 are referred to as range expressions. They can be used in any context where we wish to denote all the integers between a given pair of integers.
A significant difference between Fortress and most other programming languages is that for loops are parallel by
default. Thus, printing in the various iterations of this loop can occur in an arbitrary order, such as:

5 4 6 3 7 2 9 10 1 8

atomic do
   x += 1
   y += 1
end

std::array<int,5> jobs { 1000, 900, 1030, 800, 100 };
std::for_each(
    std::execution::par,
    std::begin( jobs ), std::end( jobs ),
    []( auto Val ) {
        // do something with Val
    }
);
