Recent market trend on the multi-core processors raises the need of easy parallel programming. Despite the variety of parallel libraries released, parallelization is still a burden task for many programmers. The raising interest of parallel programming on functional programming language, F# and Scala, takes us to a perspective that the future of parallel programming will be on functional language. In this report, we investigate one of the most matured functional language: Haskell. We investigate how Haskell's features could influence parallel programming style and what problems exists in Haskell parallelism.
