And a more recent summary: The New Cloud Haskell, <a href="http://www.well-typed.com/blog/70" rel="nofollow">http://www.well-typed.com/blog/70</a><p>Compared to the previous prototype:<p>* it is much faster;<p>* it can run on multiple kinds of network;<p>* has backends to support different environments (like cluster or cloud);<p>* has a new system for dealing with node disconnect and reconnect;<p>* has a more precisely defined semantics;<p>* supports composable, polymorphic serialisable closures;<p>* and internally the code is better structured and easier to work with.
