Ye, I'm starting to think that too. I recall Sweeny's article about the 
Unreal engine and Haskell (still gotta check in more detail how that 
"pure function" feature works), as well as the recent talk about Cell 
and the Octopiler. This is definitely something D/Walter should keep an 
eye on, if not downright start thinking about it.
