Re: [Haskell-cafe] Wrapping external process communication in a nice API?

I suggest https://github.com/haskell/lsp https://github.com/haskell/lsp should be considered the "most idiomatic" way to bridge Haskell domain code with external programs. It speaks JSON-RPC based LSP (https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol) with VSCode and other IDEs.

Hi.

For my chessIO package, I wrote a module to communicate with UCI (Universal Chess Interface) speaking chess engines.

This sort of thing is pretty new to me. I settled to use attoparsec for parsing and TChan to feed incoming data to the library users. This is the first thing that I found which looked like it could work...

I would be thrilled if someone with more experience in this area would give my approach a review. Let me know if something is glaringly unidiomatic, I am sure you will find things.

This is for me to learn, and to avoid putting weird stuff on hackage... I actually prefer private mail, but a GitHub issue or even a PR are also highly welcome.

Thanks.
