The GC is currently single-threaded, but we have an intern who started here this week (Roshan James) who is working on a parallel implementation of the GC.
GREAT! if you browse Intel/AMD news, you should know that they plan to double number of cores each two years (anyway, it's a Moore law) so it's possible that Haskell will become best application programming language just because it simplifies using of all these cores together moreover, afaiu, this means that ghc-compiled programs will no more stall for several seconds doing major GC that is also very important for any user-interactive program (especially games :) ) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
