Dear Haskellers: After having a discussion with HF guys, I decide to announce [Z.Haskell]( http://z.haskell.world/) project, It's available on Hackage and very much usable now, the document is also pretty adequate. To recap the document from Z.Haskell, Z.Haskell provides: + Array, vector(array slice), sorting, searching + Text based UTF-8, basic Unicode manipulating, regex + FFI utilities + Fast parsing and building monad + JSON encoding and decoding + IO resource management, resource pool + File system operations + Network: DNS, TCP, UDP and IPC + Buffered input and output + Process management + Environment settings + High performance logger + High performance low-resolution timer The project's goal is not to compete with the base, but to provide an alternative engineering toolkit, which is more suitable for writing practical network/storage services. Similar to [netty](https://netty.io/) for java or [nodejs](https://nodejs.org/) for javascript. Welcome to join Z.Haskell if you have a similar use case. Currently, we're heading with the following roadmap: + Crypto library based on [botan](https://github.com/ZHaskell/z-botan). + TLS network stack. + HTTP framework. + Distributed system algorithms. Happy hacking! Z.Haskell Contributors
