Re: [Haskell-cafe] named pipe interface

Brandon, can you elaborate? Are you talking about UNIX named pipes or FIFO/queue data structures in general? Mike Craig On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 12:39 PM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

Now that seems interesting, but just to be clear : did you choose this solution (and why won't you use the FFI instead) or is this just to see how to work it out ?

Because it is a direct and the simplest approach. Why does one need a foreign language, if all the needed functions are in the standard Haskell library?

I hope you are aware of the many "gotchas" involved with FIFOs. There are very good reasons why they are not widely used.
