Hi Cafe,<div><br></div><div>In GHC, if a thread spawned by forkIO blocks on some network or disk IO, is the threading system smart enough not to wake the thread until an IO event occurs on its input/output? The Control.Concurrent documentation doesn&#39;t specify, and the previous discussions I could find on this topic are out-of-date. There is a years-old GHC ticket, too, recently revived[2].</div>
<meta charset="utf-8"><div><br></div><div>Put another way, is it possible yet to use forkIO for making a server to handle tens of thousands of concurrent network connections? If not, what is the best current Haskell/GHC way?</div>
