Computer Software Concurrency Discussion

 

I’m trying to study for my Computer Science course and I need some help to understand this question.

Many programming languages, especially older ones, provide no language support for concurrency. C and C++ are examples of such languages. Is it essential that a language include syntax for concurrency to be able to write concurrent programs in that language? If not, how is it accomplished? What are the advantages and disadvantages of including support for concurrency in a language?
