Looking forward to your thoughts! I submitted a project proposal to the Savannah folks but it may take time to process. Main effort at the moment is to get a general overview/tutorial written. The code needs to be cleaned up a lot, and documentation merged as the basic structure is starting to settle down. > Have you looked at clojure?

But never have I used systems like this for any real work, and cannot claim any deep understanding. There seems to be a lot of work going on in this area. I was going to write down a few more thoughts but should probably wait until I am more informed on STM. My initial feeling is that both traditional threads (locks, condition variables) and STM could/should be made available.
