Yes. Several MLs support concurrency. Perhaps F# is the most notable in this case because it would provide an easier path to JIT (to .NET IL). Concurrent GC seems to be a lot slower though (e.g. Java or .NET vs OCaml or MLton). -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Objective CAML for Scientists http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/ocaml_for_scientists/index.html?usenet -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
