@bascule The article is a little ignorant. They're describing ST monads. Haskell has these.

@KirinDave@bascule Agreed, but should read the actual paper - it's a really impressive framework for doing this, IMO. http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/170528/msr-tr-2012-79.pdf … -
@wickedshimmy I will read it.

@bascule@KirinDave you should take a look at this http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=1924421.1924440 … and see why STM can be more than a research toy#stm#acm -
@vschiavoni I don't think STM is a research toy unless it's whole memory STM, which I think is still years off. -
@KirinDave Years off? Not according to Intel’s roadmap for Haswell http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2012/02/07/transactional-synchronization-in-haswell … -
@vschiavoni I will believe it when I see it. But Haskell's TVar and TChan stuff is doing a great job.
