(is necroing threads ok in this community? I’m never sure. Posting anyway, apologies if anyone minds.)
Hey everyone, I wanted to mention that there is movement on the cloud haskell/distributed process front, and it seems like there could/should be some cross-pollination (or, at least, awareness of similar efforts).
see e.g. Facilitating Cloud Haskell use and development
I do think that it would be totally sensible to have a sort of local-only actor framework (i.e. using STM and local threads to implement actors) as well as a distributed-systems capable framework, as having a local-only actor system can be much simpler than a distributed-process model needing to handle IPC/network comms.
