 -------------
 Compared to other Haskell streaming libraries, I've found `streamly` to have a remarkably easy-to-use API, and the best, simplest support for concurrency. For example, merging concurrent streams of events, from different devices, is trivial.
 
-If you wish to use this library alongside `conduit`, `pipes` etc. then see [here](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/streamly-0.7.0/docs/Streamly-Tutorial.html#g:39) for a guide on interoperation.
