The skeletons community implicitly replace higher-order functions with
parallel implementations:
  http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/mic/Skeletons/

There's an excellent survey of parallel FP in
  Research Directions in Parallel Functional Programming,
  Hammond K. and Michaelson G. (Eds) Springer Verlag ISBN 1-85233-092-9
  (2000).

Is anyone working on pH at the moment?
