The synchronous pi-calculus is translated into a core language of Concurrent Haskell extended by futures (CHF). The translation simulates the synchronous message-passing of the pi-calculus by sending messages and adding synchronization using Concurrent Haskell's mutable shared-memory locations (MVars). The semantic criterion is a contextual semantics of the pi-calculus and of CHF using may- and should-convergence as observations. The results are equivalence with respect to the observations, full abstraction of the translation of closed processes, and adequacy of the translation on open processes. The translation transports the semantics of the pi-calculus processes under rather strong criteria, since error-free programs are translated into error-free ones, and programs without non-deterministic error possibilities are also translated into programs without non-deterministic error-possibilities. This investigation shows that CHF embraces the expressive power and the concurrency capabilities of the pi-calculus.
