Yeah I agree with this. C# totally rocks, but threading is an unsolved problem.
I have repeatedly attempted to discover what C# actually is, all to no avail. Still, that probably means I don't need it...
If you can get to the stage where you can get a non-optimized, readable/maintainable Haskell program to run at more than say 30% of the speed of a non-optimized, readable/maintainable C# program, but automatically runs across 16 or 256 cores, then you're on to a winner.
Hint: If you can get readable/maintainable Haskell to run on more than one core "automatically", you're onto something pretty special. ;-)
Soon, have a little patience :-) See for example: http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/papers/ndp/NdpSlides.pdf http://research.microsoft.com/~tharris/papers/2007-fdip.pdf -- Sebastian Sylvan +44(0)7857-300802 UIN: 44640862
