I should have mentioned this paper:

@article{Tremblay01, author= {G. Tremblay}, title= {Lenient evaluation is neither strict nor lazy}, journal= {Computer Languages}, volume= {26}, number= {1}, pages= {43--66}, year= {2001}, }

(however I think he says that Haskell is lazy!)

Thanks. Do you have a link to a free (beer) version? I don't have an ACM subscription. I found this related paper, which was useful: How Much Non-strictness do Lenient Programs Require? http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~schauser/papers/95-fpca.ps (unrelated) BTW, I found this, which sounds similar to the STM in GHC 6.4. Again, does anyone have a link to a free version? P. Tinker and M. Katz.
