Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: Why functional programming matters

[John Lato]

In addition to STM, another item that should interest serious
programmers is forkIO.  Lightweight threads that (unlike in Python)
can use multiple cpu's.  Coming from Python, I personally appreciate
this.  Using STM to handle concurrency issues often greatly simplifies
multithreaded code.
