When Mike presented his pomsets work a few months ago, I thought to 
myself that pomsets are a mathematical "category" (sort of a generalized 
abstract algebra). Category theory is an important basis for Haskell, so 
I'm looking forward to Mike's follow-up as a great match for my Haskell 
introduction. Maybe I can even interest Mike in learning (if he doesn't 
already know) and using Haskell!  ;-)

Note: Don't panic! I'm not going to try to explain category theory. 
Introducing Haskell is enough mind-explosion by itself.
