Nice idea.
Unfortunately, writing code in Haskell does not [yet] magically cause it
to become "parallel". It's just that writing [pure] code in Haskell is
inherently thread-safe. ;-)
I'm very excited about things like fusion and data-parallel Haskell and
so forth that seem to be "out there on the horizon", but in the "right
now" I'm not sure how easy it is to write parallel Haskell code. (So far
I haven't even tried. Unless you count standard "server that spawns
processes when clients connect" type stuff...)
