Hello -cafe!

Recently at Tweag I/O we've been working on sparkle, a library for writing (distributed) Apache Spark applications directly in Haskell!

We have published a blog post introducing the project (and some of its challenges) here: http://www.tweag.io/blog/haskell-meets-large-scale-distributed-analytics

The corresponding repository lives at https://github.com/tweag/sparkle

While this is still early stage work, we can already write non-trivial Spark applications in Haskell and have them run accross an entire cluster. We obviously do not cover the whole Spark API yet (very, very far from that) but would be glad to already get some feedback.

Cheers
