Re: [chromium-html5] LocalStorage inside Worker

Here's a link to some papers on STM:

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/stm/

A simple example:

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Simple_STM_example

Here's a tutorial:

http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/software-transactional-memory.html

Here's a link to the docs:
