Any roadmap for improve support in intensive IO multiplexing? Or, at least, some papers about how this is implemented in GHC?
Af far as I understand, select is used in two separate places. How much effort it takes to implement a pluggable "reactor" (select, poll, epoll, kqueue, /dev/poll, and so)?
look at alt-network package
improving existing ghc i/o library may be a bad idea since it is a large monolithic code which is aklready hard to maintain. there was several efforts to provide new i/o library. of those, my Streams library was the largest. unfortunately, all who done those libs stopped their work. so the most probable scenario now is what we eventually will get ByteString-based modular I/O library from FPS/Binary developers
Maybe improve GHC to make Haskell suitable to write high reliable internet servers is not of interest?
Thanks Manlio Perillo
