Hi Miranda, Haskell, Hope, Clean, and all the rest of the familly!

You must be very shy, as you never seem to publish any report on how
good your parallel functional programming environment is !!!

The only report I found with *RESULTS*, is: K Hammond, S. L. Peyton
Jones, "Profiling scheduling strategies on the GRIP parallel reducer"
A good thing to tell people is:

.......... How fast does it run?
Benchmarks: ....................
Fractals: ......................
Weather Simulation: ............
Nfib 20: .......................
2 + 3: .........................
printf "Hello World!": .........
Other: .........................

............ What is it good at?
Real Life Applications: ........
Compiler Design: ...............
Formal Methods: ................
Software Engineering: ..........
4GL Parallel Programming: ......
Numerical Applications: ........
Interactive Software: ..........
Pay my Bills: ..................
Prove my Point: ................
Other: .........................

........... What does it run on?
