Why are we afraid of parallel programming. An interesting article on FPComplete site.
Originally there wasn’t much interest in FP outside of academic circles because there was no functional killer app. Now we know that this killer app is concurrency. For a functional programmer there is no barrier to concurrency, parallelism, or GPU programming.
