The "Making parallel computing easy" and "The goal of the Parallella project is to democratize access to parallel computing" lines made me immediately think of the Parallax Propeller.

Turns out their product isn't remotely similar: up to 64 cores at 800mhz, plus a dual-core ARM CPU. I wonder why they are doing a kickstarter instead of harvesting their dollars from server appliances.

Because they are not ready to harvest dollars from server appliances, and would like someone to fund their engineering.
