Does Fortress support some form of static effects tracking to prevent using side effects within parallel constructs?
No. To our knowledge there is no system of static effects tracking that deals gracefully with large shared arrays, the bread and butter of parallel computing. There are systems that attack the problem in a limited way–for example by allowing computations to access only a single array element in an individual parallel computation, or by partitioning an array into disjoint pieces–but Fortress is designed for general-purpose parallel programming.
