There's a difference between:

"multi-core programming" which you were talking about:

> Please post some samples for general purpose programming languages and OSes.

and  'multi-core scaling" which the article talks about.   Essentially that article just points out 
that  to scale properly across multiple cores, threads blocking other threads is very inefficient 
and you have to design your application properly.  It says NOTHIING about what different  
languages/compilers can do and certainly doesn't sugggest that C/C++ has some magic 
capabilities not avaiable in other languages
