> But the biggest reason of using haskell for me, was the way it handles concurrency and the high abstraction level.

Anyone care to point to something online that spells these out in (simple) details for someone who knows next to nothing about Haskell?




Simon Peyton Jones had a talk with a very nice overview of concurrency in Haskell. He is a very good presenter as well :).

There are a lot of concurrency related libraries implementing all kind of abstractions. Distributed computation is upcoming. There is an overview here: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Applications_and_librarie...


one big kick, since haskell is pure functional you don't have state (okay, in terms that imperative programmer use that term) and all data are immutable.
