Bom dia, it's my understanding that there is no runtime. The hardware does all of the graph rewrites. If you look at their 'On Interaction Nets' post [1], it seems that part of the pitch is that many programs can be written 'naturally' and still parallelize well.

Hi, thanks, I initially understood that, but I gave a non parallelizable example to show that there sometimes it is serialized by design, but I agree that in theory "real world" examples should be more amenable to parallelization.

Looking forward to seeing how the hardware handles the cost of communication between cores.
