Good afternoon Haskellers,
So I'm trying to understand how STM works, and wrote a quick 'eating philosophers' example to see if I understood how it's supposed to work. The problem is that while it executes, it doesn't appear to *do* anything.
Did I completely write things wrongheadedly or am I being bitten by something more subtle?
From a quick read, it looks like your program doesn't produce any output until a philosopher finishes 10000 think/eat iterations. Something tells me that could take awhile.... Rob Dockins Speak softly and drive a Sherman tank. Laugh hard; it's a long way to the bank. -- TMBG
