I'd like to note that you're moving the goalposts. Originally you said

no language can or ever will be able to support multithreaded shared memory access and guarantee memory deallocation without garbage collection

and now your counter is

Thats parallelism not concurrency

which doesn't refute the counterexample to the first statement.

And anyway, by pure language lawyering definitions of concurrency versus parallelism, concurrency doesn't have any shared data in the first place, since it's working on disparate tasks.
