Semi-solicited advertisement of purerl. It works and is actively used in production. It even has an actor framework a la Erlang OTP: https://github.com/id3as/purescript-erl-pinto I've chatted with purerl devs, who are really nice too, and if I had a budget, I would absolutely make a concurrent system with it.

I used distributed-process 5 or 6 years ago when I was in uni for a distributed systems class. It was pretty nice, but I have no idea about its current maintenance.

I wrote a blog post at the time with some thoughts on design patterns etc. http://yager.io/Distributed/Distributed.html

Hi all!

I've been meaning to do more with concurrent (and parallel) haskell, and having looked around a bit on hackage (and being a fan of Erlang's OTP) the cloud haskell packages seem like a dream come true. But only at first glance — the last release of distributed-process [1], which looks to be the main library, was in 2018, and many of the other packages are older. The "recent news" section of the website [2] even has its last entry from 2016!

So I'd be assuming that the project has been abandoned, yet on github [3] it looks to still be (comparatively) alive and well, with activity just a few months ago.

So what's the current status there? Is anyone here using it productively, or involved in its development / knows if or when to expect a new release?

Hi stuebinm,

We were using distributed-process within our own project until it was too much effort to keep up with newer GHC releases and packages.

We were able to replace distributed-process and friends with our own much more lightweight curryer-rpc library[1] for the simple use-case of TCP client-server interaction.

Cheers, M
