There has been a lot of interest on various Lisp and Scheme lists  
related to Erlang-style concurrency.  The most widely-known one is  
probably the "Termite" project by the GAMBIT scheme folks (see e.g.,  
http://lisp-ecoop05.bknr.net/pdf/19654.pdf and http:// 
www.iro.umontreal.ca/%7Eboucherd/mslug/meetings/20050216/ 
termite.pdf), as well as some spin-off work-alikes (such as Erlisp,  
CL-MUPROC, and recently the Chicken-based TinT (TinT's not Termite)).

I vaguely remember Matthew posting notes about some threading changes  
a while back that seemed to have some relevance (to remember, you  
must scroll all the way back to 2003) in which "Concurrent MzScheme"  
was discussed, with Concurrent ML-style constructs.

I'm curious how fully-formed "Concurrent MzScheme" is in the new 301  
world.  Any savants ready to weigh in?

Thanks,

- -Brent
