On the one hand, C++ is a performance-oriented language, and concurrency is almost always employed to improve performance, so the two are a natural fit. Certainly, C++ was used to develop concurrent programs since the earliest days of the language. On the other hand, for a language so often used for writing concurrent programs, C++ has a surprising dearth of constructs and features that directly address the needs of concurrent programming.
