In addition to STM, another item that should interest serious programmers is forkIO. Lightweight threads that (unlike in Python) can use multiple cpu's. Coming from Python, I personally appreciate this. Using STM to handle concurrency issues often greatly simplifies multithreaded code.
And further on this, the use of `par` in pure code to make it go multicore is way beyond what most people think is possible.
I said _don't_ make me think of using par on a beowolf cluster of ps3's. Don't you guys have any scruples? -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity.
