Re: [Haskell-cafe] STM and `orElse` on a few thousand TMVars

I'm trying to implement a better waitForChildren from the docs for Control.Concurrent. I would like to know when all the children exit, basically, and I thought it would be neat to try to do that with STM. Is there an advantage to STM here?

I'm not sure what you're using all those TMVars for, but it sounds like it might be better to multiplex them all into a single channel, or something.
