Monad Transformer for Asyncronous Message Passing.

Please see the README on Github at https://github.com/System-Indystress/Butter#readme

Butter

For easily spreading around monadic computation

Examples

• Example Language usage in test/first/Main.hs
• Example Protocol usage in test/protocol/Main.hs

Current Language Features

Actor Monad Transformer that supports

• self
• send
• receive
  • selective based on type
  • yields on empty receive or type mismatch
• spawn
  • built on Forkable-Monad and forkIO
• lift
• named pids
• connect to remote
  • send via named

Current Library Features

• Protocol (OTP Genserver like typeclass)
  • explicit State type family
  • explicit Monadic Context type family
  • Results API

Future Core Language Features

• monitor
• serializable computation typeclass
  • spawn remote
  • monitor remote
• query remote
• encrypted message passing by default
  • config to change encode and decode

Future Library Features

• quasiquoter / convenience Syntax
• OTP
  • supervisor trees
• haddock documentation
• versioned tutorial series.
