Hi all!
I've been meaning to do more with concurrent (and parallel) haskell, and having looked around a bit on hackage (and being a fan of Erlang's OTP) the cloud haskell packages seem like a dream come true. But only at first glance — the last release of distributed-process [1], which looks to be the main library, was in 2018, and many of the other packages are older. The "recent news" section of the website [2] even has its last entry from 2016!
So I'd be assuming that the project has been abandoned, yet on github [3] it looks to still be (comparatively) alive and well, with activity just a few months ago.
So what's the current status there? Is anyone here using it productively, or involved in its development / knows if or when to expect a new release?
Hi stuebinm, We were using distributed-process within our own project until it was too much effort to keep up with newer GHC releases and packages. We were able to replace distributed-process and friends with our own much more lightweight curryer-rpc library[1] for the simple use-case of TCP client-server interaction.
