  • Implementing active objects with a MailboxProcessor

    Mailbox processors can easily be used to implement active objects. This example shows how to do that with a reusable wrapper type and minimal boilerplate code in the actual class definitions. Supports both asynchronous calls and synchronous calls. For the latter case, exceptions are automatically propagated back to the caller.

  • Asynchronous sequences

    An asynchronous sequence is similar to the seq type, but the elements of the sequence are generated asynchronously without blocking the caller as in Async. This snippet declares asynchronous sequence and uses it to compare two files in 1k blocks.

  • The Haskell const function

    The const function is simple, but you can use it to make your code more legible. In this example we convert a unary function to a function of arity 2 (that ignores the second argument). Also by using the flip function from Haskell (which is equally easy to define) you can ignore the first argument.
