Also, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that GHC wipes the floor with nearly everyone in the concurrency benchmark

SmartEiffel is so much faster that I'm still trying to figure out if it's doing something different :-) Be interesting to see GHC on the other concurrency benchmark... http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php?test=chameneos&lang=all
