hAthena

Description
This is a project to test how well Haskell fits a production based server.
This is by no means an alternative to rAthena and will not aim to be.

Key features by using functional programming:

- Concurrency and Parallelism
The server will spawn a light thread per client connected and script executed.

- STM
Memory is easy to share over all the threads, easy to keep apart and when needed to switch between the both.

- Strict typesystem
You can't send the wrong information to a function, and you can not possibly use it in a way not intended

- No side-effects
A function can't do anything else then what you want it to do. You provide a value, it returns a value. No fishy business.
