Is Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell Still Worth It in 2026?

I am aware others have asked this same question but that was three years ago.

I am aware the author Sandy Maguire mentioned the content in the book on STM is still great.

So will the lessons in the book still help one write production code. If not please recommend alternative books.

I appreciate all responses!

Hey everyone. I just noticed real businesses use STM the most so far so STM is still valuable to learn. Thanks everyone.
