I think the concurrency half is most important. Any non trivial Haskell
program should leverage concurrency, and Haskell's concurrency is amazing.
Correct, it's not the only thing a person should know to write Haskell, but it
is a required part of the curriculum. It also covers a lot of ground in
demonstrating why Haskell is great.

Can you expand on that? Both book title and synopsis seem to indicate that it is focused on
parallel programming, which is important but certainly not the only thing you'd want to do in the real world. Also, not all real-world tasks involve parallelism, so the claim that parallelism is required reading requires substantiation. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list To (un)subscribe, modify options or view archives go to: http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe Only members subscribed via the mailman list are allowed to post.
