Haskell is the world's leading purely functional programming language that offers a radical and elegant attack on the whole business of writing programs. In the last two or three years there has been an explosion of interest in Haskell, and it is now being used for a bewildering variety of applications. In this tutorial, I will try to show you why programming in Haskell is such fun, and how it ...

Transactional memory (TM) is an extremely promising new way to coordinate concurrent programs. TM eliminates many bugs that plague lock-based programs, such as omitted locking, deadlocks, and missed wake-ups. Even more importantly, TM supports modular programming, whereas locks effectively prevent it. TM is not a magic bullet, but it is nevertheless a potent new weapon in our armory. Come hear ...
