Another library to keep in mind could be slave-thread: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/slave-thread – potentially useful if you have forkIO'd processors of messages.

What isn't satisfactory with what you currently have? Are you just looking for more support so you don't have to DIY? Cloud Haskell and Courier both have an in-memory backends, so I'm not sure how to whittle things down yet without other candidate libraries/tech to consider. The only other options that come to mind right now as being related to message passing go in the opposite direction of what you want, like Kafka.

Actually I only need to pass messages between processes with a queue...
No need for network... Sorry it was not clear :)

[1]: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/distributed-process and http://haskell-distributed.github.io/

[2]: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/courier

Cloud Haskell is probably more widely used. I don't know if they're leveraging Static Pointers yet, but the feature was motivated in part by their needs.

We mostly use Pipes, TCP sockets, and Binary but I think you're looking for something more reliable. Probably someone will recommend ZeroMQ. I'd steer clear of ZeroMQ unless you have an intimate understanding of it and how to work around its quirks.

Hello,
what would you recommend as a message passing library?
Essentially, I would to replace this library http://hackage.haskell.org/package/eprocess
by something more mainstream.
It is used in Hint-server: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hint-server

Thanks!
Corentin
