[Haskell-cafe] Go parallel

[Tim Docker]

Is it possible to use the forkIO primitive to cause pure computations
to be evaluated in parallel threads?

It seems to me that laziness would always prevent any evaluation until
the result was used in a consuming thread (and hence would occur
serially, in that thread).

Hello Andrew,

let fork job = do mvar <- newEmptyMVar
                  forkIO$ do job; putMVar mvar ()
                  return mvar
tasks <- mapM fork jobs
mapM_ takeMVar tasks


these runs jobs and waits before all them will be finished
