Here's hoping someone develops a native messaging framework for Haskell, which is the equal of RabbitMQ.

The first thing would be to make a Haskell client library to speak AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) on the wire. It is a very open binary standard (with defined semantics!) at http://jira.amqp.org/confluence/display/AMQP/Advanced+Message+Queuing+Protoc... I would be mildly surprised if zero people were working on this. Once that is in place then the question of a Haskell Broker for AMQP arises. But I suspect that Erlang's runtime will still rule there for "production use". -- Chris
