what can we do to make it easier to get into concurrent and parallel haskell programming? Its really one of the killer features, but is under-documented and under-blogged-about.
We have some new tools coming, perhaps for GHC 6.8. Michael Adams has ported the GramSim parallel performance-analysis tools to GHC, so we can generate graphs of runnable/running/blocked threads over time, amongst other things. This should make it much easier to get a handle on parallel performance, which I think is the area that we're most lacking at the moment. I'll try to get the patches in as soon as possible.
