Great stuff, Brent. Very nice slides.

Only 2 points come to mind:

    * on the slide about laziness, it might be nice to mention
    that we can use laziness to trivially ensure workspaces are 
    only created on demand -- no wasted "space" tracking workspaces
    you never use, as they come into existence when you index them


    * on the slide about pure versus IO, page 32, i'd wrap the IO
    partially around the pure layer, like a skin, or a topping on ice
    cream, to emphasise that IO doesn't make its way down into the core
    logic.

Good work, again!
