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.
