It would be wonderful if some kind of concurrency were present in the 
language.  That's one of the few areas where Clean is a bit backward.  I 
don't think most of us users care if the language supports full 
"processor-level" thread support.  Something like Erlang or MzScheme's 
higher-level threading primitives would be just fine, at least for me.

Perhaps something like SML's concurrency model could be used as a basis?

At any rate, I'm a bit curious about your threading implementation.  
Would it be possible to include it as a library in CVS?

Thanks,
