Answer: if you know Haskell you don't have to run scared from threading, because threading really isn't so hard.
I've heard Node advocates argue that being limited to a single process isn't a problem for scalability because you can just spin up more Node instances... but that's just threading on a different level. You still run into issues coordinating the instances, but now they are going on in your database instead of in your code.
