Re: Is it true that an exception is always terminates the thread?

      Quoting Heka Treep <zena.treep@gmail.com>:
...
actor mbox = do
  empty <- atomically $ isEmptyTChan mbox
  if empty
    then actor mbox
    else do
      val <- atomically $ readTChan mbox
      putStrLn val
      actor mbox
This looks a bit silly. Why not just this?

actor mbox = forever $ atomically (readTChan mbox) >>= putStrLn

~d
