Any further progress on this. It still shows not missing:

Wow. Why is that? How long before it is added? One major issue is getting it
to work across platforms I suppose. Haskell uses monads to to concurrency.
Is the lack of monads the reason that it hasn't been done?

Yes, I like Clean quite a bit. I never quite mastered Haskell monads. And I
never liked how there seemed to be two divergent schools of abstraction in
haskell - monads and arrows.

I think the I/O facilities in Clean are much easier to work with. And the
Language Report is very thorough. Whenever I didnt understand a
function/operator, I just searched the report to figure it out.
