I firmly disagree, they are not a continuum, they are binary properties of what they describe. Code can have concurrency primitives, but parallelism primitives must necessarily come from the environment the code executes in, whether it's multiple code streams on a multicore processor or process parallelism provided by an operating system. Programs that are parallel are necessarily also concurrent (if they must communicate between parallel executions), but the inverse is not necessarily true.

If this distinction wasn't important, Python's infamous GIL would not be an issue.
