I think that you're thinking about the commute
So I'm working on a project that uses STM to run a lot of things in
parallel without the headaches of locks. So far it's working
beautifully, STM rocks. But there's one snag...
Sometimes I need those threads to do some IO like printing logging info.
I'd like to make these IO chunks atomic
Hi Wren,
maybe Twilight STM is for you:

Hi Wren,
I am maintaining Twilight STM, and it seems that it might indeed solve your
problem. We also use it for logging, locks, and other advanced STM stuff like
inconsistency repair.
If you are interested, let me know. There is a new version coming up soon, with
new features and improved

Logging is easy, especially if you don't mind a performance hit.
Create an STM.TChan and throw each log message on it. Have a separate
forkIO'ed
There's the stm-io-hooks [1] package but it looks like it hasn't been
updated in a while.
