Hi Levi, Delightful! I'd been hoping for a networking-related use of Reactive. I made a few tweaks to clean up the code: * Factored the fmap out of handleConnection, handleToRequest, runRequestHandler r, and responseSend, to simplify their interfaces/semantics (no more events). * Used (second.fmap) in runRequestHandler in place of explicit manipulation. Then factored it out into handleConnection, to simplify interface/semantics (no more pair/IO). * Added a few type signatures. * Replaced (putStrLn . show) with print in responseSend. Let's play some more with improving on the handle-passing. Meanwhile, new version below. I bet we can make it more functional/elegant, isolating the IO from a simple & pure core. For instance, the pattern of accepting connections and then dialoging on each one smells very like what I have in mind for the (functional) Event monad.

Hi,
Listed below is my first experiment with reactive programming. It is a simple web server written using the Data.Reactive[1] library. The intended interface is given by the runHttpServer function, so the remainder is intended to be internal.
I'd be happy to hear comments on any parts of this, but am particularly interested in the following:
1. Is this kind of code what is intended from reactive programming? 2a. I'm not sure about passing the (Handle,...) tuple around. Is there a way to avoid this? 2b. I'm not sure of the best place to handle possible socket exceptions 2c. I'd like to be able to pass a function of type Event Request -> Event Response to runHttpServer, so that reactive programming could be used throughout client code also, but the (Handle,...) tuples seem to be getting in the way. 3. I have a feeling there's a clearer way to write responseSend.
Thanks, Levi
