at the front page of http://julialang.org/

in the "Designed for Parallelism and Cloud Computing" section
the example code is not consistent with the code required for
successful execution in the Current Release (v0.4.1) ...


the following code should replace the example code:

julia> nheads = @parallel (+) for i=1:100000000                                                                                                                  
         Int(rand(Bool))                                                                                                                                         
       end

Hi,
If you find an error/typo in the docs, you can edit it directly on GitHub and submit a pull request to fix it. That is what I usually do. A small way to help out.

Cheers

the docs appear to have this corrected at

   https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/735847010c84ad6b54ff675d713346ffe8981d07/doc/manual/parallel-computing.rst


but, it does not appear to be the case that
this flows through to the front-page matter at

   http://julialang.org


in particular, a GitSearch of the julialang repository
for the string "nheads" has one result, see link above.
