Somebody correct me here - I was under the impression that you only ever need forkIO if you're doing something strange with FFI, and usually you just want fork?


That's incorrect. forkIO is *the* basic threading primitive for fast,
light Haskell threads. You might be thinking of 'forkOS' -- that's for
weird FFI strangeness.

Yeah, I think you're right.

(Hmm... Is there even a function named just "fork"?)
