The point was that there are *lots* of examples out there :) Typing 'concurrency' into the http://haskell.org wiki search box gives me: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Concurrency_demos http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Concurrency_demos/Zeta http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Shootout/Cheap_concurrency http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Concurrency_demos/Two_reader_threads http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Libraries_and_tools/Concurrency_and_parallelism ... A book chapter on concurrency in Haskell with software transactional memory appeared just a few weeks ago: http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/tmp/beautiful.ps And of course the very fast examples on the shootout: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=chameneos&lang=ghc&id=0 http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=message&lang=all Another good resource for simple concurrency tutorials is the 'Awkward Squad': http://research.microsoft.com/%7Esimonpj/Papers/marktoberdorf Enjoy! Concurrency in Haskell is both fun and rich, since we have: explicit lightweight threads: http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Control-Concurrent.html symmetric multiprocessor support: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/users_guide/sec-using-smp.html implicit parallelism: http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Control-Parallel-Strategies.html software transactional memory: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Software_transactional_memory locks: http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Control-Concurrent-MVar.html concurrent channels: http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Control-Concurrent-Chan.html transparently parallel arrays: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/Data_Parallel_Haskell user level threads and scheduling: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~lipeng/homepage/unify.html And more! As usual, http://haskell.org is the place to start.
