Anyone care to point to something online that spells these out in (simple) details for someone who knows next to nothing about Haskell?

Simon Peyton Jones had a talk with a very nice overview of concurrency in Haskell. He is a very good presenter as well :).

one big kick, since haskell is pure functional you don't have state (okay, in terms that imperative programmer use that term) and all data are immutable.
