- Haskell Is Not ML
- This paper presents a typed calculus IL ("Intermediate Language") which supports the embedding of ML-like (strict, eager) and Haskell-like (non-strict, lazy) languages, without favoring either. IL's type system includes negation continuations, but not implication function arrow. Within IL the authors find that lifted sums and products can be represented as...

- How will Microsoft spend its multicore millions?Dan GrossmanWhat Dan Grossman did with transactional events and CML was pretty interesting. He was able to bring transactional events outside of a pure functional language like Haskell into CML. I am definitely looking forward to what he does in the future,...

- Transactional Memory With Data Invariants
- This paper introduces a mechanism for asserting invariants that are maintained by a program that uses atomic memory transactions. The idea is simple: a programmer writes check E where E is an expression that should be preserved by every atomic update for the remainder of the program's execution. The authors...

- Confessions of a Used Programming Language Salesman: Getting the Masses Hooked on Haskell
- Programmers in the real world wrestle everyday to overcome the impedance mismatch between relational data, objects, and XML. The authors have been working on solving this problem for the past ten years by applying principles from functional programming, in particular monads and comprehensions. By viewing data as monads and formulating...

- Lock Free Data Structures Using STM in Haskell
- This paper explores the feasibility of re-expressing concurrent algorithms with explicit locks in terms of lock free code written using Haskell's implementation of software transactional memory. Experimental results are presented which show that for multi-processor systems the simpler lock free implementations offer superior performance when compared to their corresponding lock...

- Haskell on a Shared-Memory Multiprocessor
- Multi-core processors are coming, and it requires ways to program them. The combination of purely-functional programming and explicit, monadic threads, communicating using transactional memory, looks like a particularly promising way to do so. This paper describes a full-scale implementation of shared-memory parallel Haskell, based on the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. The...
