  Distributed Programming was one of the things flagged "Immature" in State of the Haskell Ecosystem [1]. Just out of curiosity, was that a motivation behind the project, or do you have any other thoughts on that post-project?

  Excellent write up. One point though: watch out for WriterT and RWST leaking memory:

  It's often better to just include the writer part you need in a larder State type (lenses make this really seamless)/

  Did you run into any bugs or strange beahviour in Cloud Haskell? I looked into using it a while ago and came to the (possibly hasty) conclusion that it's not stable enough to build a large project on. Thanks!

  Author here. Glad to see this on HN! Happy to answer any questions.

  Very interesting structure of explanation. I like your short sumarization (tl;dr) at beginning and "why?" reasoning. I think i will copy it in my next book :-)
