distributed-process

[johnpmayer]

For the next release, would it be possible to try and support the dependencies for Cloud Haskell, distributed-process?

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/distributed-process-0.2.0

I'd very much like to try to write backends on top of IVC or HaNS

[elliottt]

This looks pretty doable. There don't seem to be many dependencies, beyond a more recent GHC, that would prevent this library from building after an update.

This might actually be working now thanks to awick adding TH support. Time for some testing!

[acw]

I just did a quick check, and distributed-process-0.5.1 built cleanly on the HaLVM. I don't know if it runs properly, though. Are there some use cases you (or I) could use as a test?

[dysinger]

Is this a direct HaLVM concern? If so let's list the action items. IMHO if base libraries supported, there should be no reason distributed-process wouldn't just layer in.

[acw]

Given that the original reporter never posted a test case, I think we should close it.

@dysinger That's perfect. Thanks for the CC, I love it.
