Great summary of what you can do with concurrent/parallel Haskell.

One technical comment: You say somewhere “STM can’t deadlock”. I guess you mean if there’s no retry.
With retry you can simulate a mutex, eg see
“Comparing the performance of concurrent linked-list implementations in Haskell”, and then you can run into a deadlock.
