Are you employing the ideas behind reactive programming? And can you explain the types of monads you used for what problem and why? I am writing a paper on Functional Reactive Programming and Haxl really made me curious. The paper (currently in german, but I'll translate it) proposes a new Hypothesis that tries to shred FRP in general, by showing a novel way that solves some of the problems automatically that naturally occur with FRP.

I am really interested in seeing how you solve problems for distributed systems with Haxl and how query sharding is handled etc..

I've wasted a whole day looking for Haxl online a few weeks ago, just to find out that it wasn't released yet. The release really makes me happy :)




This is in a similar space to reactive programming, but isn't reactive at its core. The best explanation of the monad we use developed is described in the paper here: http://community.haskell.org/~simonmar/papers/haxl-icfp14.pd...

Query sharding is at the data source layer, which Haxl doesn't delve into. It's up to each data source integration with Haxl to do the appropriate routing/etc.

Hope you find it useful!
