You're probably not on the right mailing list, this seems more appropriate
to Haskell-cafe than to Haskell-beginners.

Hi list,
It would be handy for me to have a bounded STM Queue along the lines of TBQueue https://hackage.haskell.org/package/stm-2.4/docs/Control-Concurrent-STM-TBQu... with the difference that when the queue is full, a call to writeTBQueue is a non-blocking no-op.
This is in the context of an asynchronous logging system. If the load (somehow) gets heavy enough that the log message queue is taking up a lot of memory, It's better to lose a few log messages than to have processes block until the logger catches up.
Are there any off-the-shelf solutions?
Cheers, Allex
