[Question] `parMap` and `parZip` #233

Closed Kaaveh closed 1 year ago

Kaaveh commented 1 year ago

In the naming of parMap and parZip, the par stand for which word?

serras commented 1 year ago

It should remind of “parallel”, because it allows for the different computations to happen concurrently.

It also connects to similar wording in other programming communities. For example, Haskell follows a similar convention.

Interesting! Thanks Ale.
