Things To Do

Documentation

• Update documentation
• Add a tutorial/user guide with detailed use cases, examples

Examples

• Update existing examples
• Cover all main use cases and organize them systematically
• Add some FRP/SDL examples/games

Testing

• Test exception handling
• 100% coverage

APIs

• Add missing APIs
• foldr or Foldable instance
• left fold function for use with the foldl library

Features

High priority

• Cross thread recursion
• Test real parallel processing and scaling, investigate if any memory barriers are needed for CAS stuff.
• Measure lock contentions, an option to dequeue work and run in batches instead of one at a time to reduce lock contention?
• Buffering, rate control: Bounded push queue size and API for that
• Test exception handling, resource cleanup at exception
• Automaton instance for machines
• Cancel dropped tasks (e.g. after take 1)

Low priority

• Use cases of parallel stream merging, sampling, buffering
• Do we need a Alternative that is dual to the current default i.e. race or just use take 1?
• Explore Kleisli Profunctor and Kleisli Arrow instances?
• Free applicative and Free Alternative, batched Alternative (push scheduling instead of pull scheduling)
• N-ary operations e.g. real balanced interleave
• Scheduling: Coalescing of tasks based on programmer defined criteria
  • Batching based on the target host
  • Batching/chunking for parallel/distributed execution
  • Batching iterations
• Controlled parallelism:
  • Control based on the level in the tree
  • Control based on the CPU/IO utilization based pacing
  • Utilize non-blocking IO
• Pause and resume using monad-recorder
• Save internal buffered state during a pause?
