I'm pleased to announce the release of version 0.0.1 of pipes-core, a library for efficient, safe and compositional IO, similar in scope to iteratees and conduits.
I like your design, it seems to strike a good balance between elegance and practicality. The only thing missing for the latter is a deeper support for chunking. Of course, that would probably destroy some of the elegance [1]. I don't think that problem has been solved in any of the enumerator/iteratee/pipe/wire/conduit libraries so far. Did you consider adding some stream-splitting and merging pipes, like those in the SCC package [2] or those described in the last Monad.Reader issue [3]? Your arrow-like combinators seem well thought out, but they don't go very far.
