Sometimes, you have to leave the more spiffy features to languages

Erlang doesn't share any state by default, and in Haskell, everything
is immutable. But they use very special mechanisms to make up for the
problems caused by this, and that's why you can't just pick the
cherries: it won't fit, it will feel unnatural, and everything will
be a mess. It's a good idea to copy good features from other
languages, but never forget where you come from.
We plan to add the necessary mechanisms.
What mechanisms will these be? I'm sure others are curious too.
Still under discussion. We're considering for example message-passing
queues a la Erlang.
