  Erlang is awesome, but only offers high-level concurrency constructs (actually, just a couple), it does not support low level ones (CAS). You can't write, say, a good concurrent hash-map in Erlang. Or in Haskell, for that matter.

    Unless I'm mistaken, this library provides CAS for haskell: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bits-atomic http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bits-atomic Though if you were only affirming that it isn't a language construct you are correct.
