Streamly: Haskell Programmer’s Swiss Army Knife

This SkillsCast is currently only available to registered attendees of Haskell eXchange 2021: Pro Track

It will be freely available to all Skills Matter members once the Haskell eXchange 2021: Pro Track early-access window expires on January 15, 2022.

Streamly provides declarative combinators to express loops as a pipeline composed of modular building blocks. Each pipeline stage encapsulates a transformation over the data.

Streamly makes it possible to compose concurrent programs declaratively. Data processing pipelines can be composed of concurrent actions and can run concurrently. Streamly unifies many functional abstractions; a small set of high-level combinators can express a wide variety of programming problems.

Traditionally, you can write idiomatic programs that do not perform so well or high-performance programs that are not so idiomatic. Streamly provides both.

This talk aims to introduce the library to a wider audience. We will go over the motivation for the library, how it is different from existing solutions, the abstractions it provides, key innovations, performance characteristics, and how to express some practical problems using the library.
