I'd like to make some FRPish toys that keep files updated to have functional relationships with other files. hinotify looks like just the sort of underlying magic I could use for efficient implementation on linux. Is there any support for mac os x? Could support be either added to hinotify or maybe inotify and a mac-friendly library be abstracted into a common Haskell interface? I'm fine with an imperative interface, since I can abstract into a functional library, which I guess would be a sort of persistent simplified FRP.
On Mac & BSD you have to use kqueue, and on Windows it's
ReadDirectoryChangesW. A platform-agnostic Haskell library for detecting
filesystem change notifications is something that I would really
appreciate!
