Ah... I'd forgotten Ada (it's been some time since I've used it). There's
some difference, however, between the target audiences of Java threads and
the people who use OpenMP. In particular, I note the following project:

In general, Java's threads are designed for interface concurrency, not
shared memory parallel programming. While you can write a parallel
application using Java threads, a directive-based approach is both cleaner
and easier for many applications.
