[Haskell] Re: Hi-res/vector version of logo?

Sure, I'm happy to convert the PSDs (available in the src/ directory, here [1]) into SVG, but I will have to do so through tracing them in InkScape unless somebody has another solution. Many of those are on one basic template. I have no expertise to advice on the choice of greys, but I do

[Haskell-cafe] Serializing Functions and Actions for Distributed Programming

2006-07-29 Thread Brian Sniffen
I'm very excited by the ability to pass functions or IO actions between threads of the same program. But I don't see any language or library support for doing so between programs, or between sessions with the same program. OCaml provides a partial solution:

Here's a version that provides clean output with no delays. It uses a single-entry mailbox (the TMVar output) to ensure the processing doesn't run too far ahead of the log. module Test where import System.Random import Control.Concurrent import Control.Concurrent.STM test :: IO () test = do

It might be nice to at least include some disclaimers of warranty. I'm not a lawyer. But those US copyright lawyers I've spoken with have expressed doubts about anybody's ability to put things into the public domain. Certainly, if you put it in the public domain, you can't also disclaim a
