Description
Summary:Haskell is a modern, functional programming language with an interesting story to tell about parallelism: rather than using concurrent threads and locks, Haskell offers a variety of libraries that enable concise, high-level parallel programs with results that are guaranteed to be deterministic (independent of the number of cores and the scheduling being used). This Web extra contains Haskell code, as discussed in the article.
