Cloud Haskell New Releases

[Tim Watson]

Hi all,

After an enormous hiatus, I'm back in Cloud Haskell land, and would like to announce a new library. Based loosely on Erlang's gen_statem and gen_fsm libraries, https://hackage.haskell.org/package/distributed-process-fsm provides a simplified API for building managed processes using the Cloud Haskell platform libraries.

Along with this brand new release - which, needless to say, is of alpha quality at the moment - there are also updated versions of some of the key libraries, including https://hackage.haskell.org/package/distributed-process-client-server. A new version of https://hackage.haskell.org/package/distributed-process-supervisor will also be made available soon, once improvements to the tests have been completed.

I plan on publishing a Cloud Haskell roadmap over the coming weeks, and will be pleased to answer any questions on #haskell-distributed (on freenode), gitter, or slack (to which you can now sign up via https://rauchg-slackin-dxinpkuzrg.now.sh/).

Cheers,

Tim Watson

Doing a paxos (or equally a raft) implementation is on the agenda, but I'm not convinced that the current behaviour at the network layer is quite right to make those work. Duncan and I starters talking about RINA as a potential fabric on which CH could run, but I think there are lots of things we need to iron out in terms if the architecture in order to get that right.

Will update with a high level roadmap soon!

Cheers 

Tim

Great to see you back in action Tim! Looking forward to the roadmap.

One thing I feel is missing in this ecosystem is a high quality native raft implementation. Any chance something like that is on the roadmap?
