Thank goodness for a cleaner networking API. I almost chose Haskell's socket API as an example of what _not_ to do in my series on Good API Design (http://jdegoes.squarespace.com/journal/2009/5/11/good-api-design-part-3.html ). Ended up going with Java though. :-) Regards, John A. De Goes N-Brain, Inc.

Hello
network-fancy offers a cleaner API to networking facilities in Haskell. It supports high-level operations on tcp, udp and unix sockets.
I would like some feedback on the API http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/network-fancy/0.1.4/doc/html/Net...
In particular: * Does the type of the server function in dgramServer make sense? or would (packet -> Address -> (packet -> IO ()) -> IO ()) be better? * Does the StringLike class make sense? * Any other suggestions?
