Yes, of course, I've been writing multi-threaded and SMP programs all the
time using C++ but then a C/C++ implementation would still beat the Haskell
one regarding raw performance :) I might be easier to do in Haskell though,
although I guess the "easier" (like software transactional memory) also
comes with a price.
