Hi,Marcelo,No. .Acid state is explcitly managed by the process by means of state management primitives
In Control.Workflow the state is managed in a implicit way.
It is a monad transformer mainly is designed for wrapping IO computations.
the lifting primitive, step, store the intermediate result and recover the application state.
in acid state the process choose what to write in the state
in workflow the state written is the complete state of the process.
See the example in the documentation. the process ,
import Control.Workflow
import Control.Concurrent(threadDelay)
import System.IO (hFlush,stdout)
mcount n= do step $ do
putStr (show n ++ " ")
hFlush stdout
threadDelay 1000000
mcount (n+1)
return () -- to disambiguate the return type
main= exec1 "count" $ mcount (0 :: Int)
>>> runghc demos\sequence.hs
>0 1 2 3
>CTRL-C Pressed
>>> runghc demos\sequence.hs
>3 4 5 6 7
>CTRL-C Pressed
>>> runghc demos\sequence.hs
>7 8 9 10 11
...
in subsequent executions the process start to execute IO computations from the last point logged:
As the documentation says
some side effect can be re-executed after recovery if the log is not complete. This may happen after an unexpected shutdown (in this case Contro-C has been pressed) or due to an asynchronous log writing policy. (see syncWrite) (writing is cached).
Althoug this is not event sourcing, The logging and recovery facilities can be used for even sourcing.

you recovery the current state?

Can you "somehow" recover impure (IO) computations?
