By the way, it is easy to implement "selective receive" using
first-class-patterns (this is the package's name, IIRC).

Hello !
I've been studying Erlang and Scala, and I was wondering if someone has already implemented an actors and message passing framework for concurrent and distributed programs in Haskell.
Hi,
Take a look at the concurrency section on Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html#cat:concurrency
The actor library and eprocess library mention Erlang, but it seems like no other libraries attempting to replicate Erlang's concurrency model have made it on to Hackage. I wonder if part of the reason for this is that Erlang uses untyped (or should that be dynamically typed?) communication, which doesn't set as easily with Haskell's static typing. (Looking at the Haskell concurrency libraries on that list suggests that Haskell concurrency tends to focus either on transactions or on typed channels as a concurrency mechanism instead.)
Thanks,
Neil.
