Simon Peyton Jones explains nested data parallelism and Data Parallel Haskell, an approach to exploiting multicore and distributed hardware while keeping a simple single-control-flow programming model.
Why HN recommends it: Recommended as a fascinating look at easy parallelism abstractions, though other commenters note the approach never beat sequential C by much.
“a promising language abstraction to do hard things with parallelism relatively easily” Read on HN ↗
