my view on "threads" in a tunes like system.

[Alan Grimes]

from what little I understand here is what I see with regards to threads. 

In functional languages there is only one program in the computer, the rest
are just functions waiting to be eval[uated]. So each CPU in the system
simply executes a paralellized "eval" function. This is perfectly scalable,
and is totally invisable to the programmer (which is awesome). Each CPU
simply picks up the next function that is ready to be evaluated, operates
on it, and then returns the result and making the next function ready to
run. =)
