Which raises the question: *is* concurrency actually a strong selling point for functional languages? In last year's state of clojure survey [*], concurrency ranked 6 out of 13 for the "biggest wins" question, but I don't know what conclusions to draw from that. I added this chapter to the outline partly as a way to force myself to learn more about functional concurrency. Perhaps I need to find another excuse.
