一句话：介绍《函数式编程杂志》并行与并发函数式编程专刊，展示函数式语言与概念在该领域的现状与应用。
本文是《函数式编程杂志》（Journal of Functional Programming）为“并行与并发函数式编程”专刊撰写的社论。文章指出，函数式语言尤其适合为程序员提供并行与并发计算的编程模型；当前围绕并行与并发函数式语言，以及将函数式语言特性引入其他编程语言的研究十分广泛，并催生了快速增长的实践应用。因此，该专刊旨在集中展示函数式语言与函数式概念如何帮助程序员应对构建并行与并发系统所面临的挑战，呈现该领域的最新进展。作为社论，本文不提出具体技术方法，也不包含实验评估。
Functional languages are uniquely suited to providing programmers with a programming model for parallel and concurrent computing. This is reflected in the wide range of work that is currently underway, both on parallel and concurrent functional languages, as well as on bringing functional language features to other programming languages. This has resulted in a rapidly growing number of practical applications. The Journal of Functional Programming decided to dedicate a special issue to this field to showcase the state of the art in how functional languages and functional concepts currently assist programmers with the task of managing the challenges of creating parallel and concurrent systems.
