I think your work will be very important and valuable for the community. You've shown were Haskell could be better, and I believe it will catch up eventually, either by improvements in GHC, in libraries or simply in documentation.
Thank you Tomasz! I think eventually will come sooner than you think :-). On my TODO list for the next few weeks: 1) Set up a Haskell vs. Erlang heavily-multithreaded serialization shootout 2) Work Simon M. to make sure Haskell is on par and try to hack GHC to add whatever is needed 3) Add profiling support for STM to GHC (including retainer profiling) 4) Adapt the Zipper FileServer OS to #1. See if single-threading with delimited continuations is better than multi-threading with unbound threads. 5) If #4 is a yes then investigate why And of course I will blog about the whole thing as I go along.
