What would it take to implement a -j equivalent for, say, GHC? Or if this is not possible, what is wrong with my reasoning?
problem is that make have rather large pices of work which it can run parallel. if ghc will try to parallel every machine operation, it will pend more time maintaining these jobs. 'par' is just the way to tell GHC "this part of job is large enough"
Right, but couldn't the Haskell complier+runtime discover "rather large pieces of work"?
