description:
This is a simplified, standalone version of the @ResourceT@ transformer that
was originally developed as part of the @conduit@ package. That version of
@ResourceT@ was supported by a complicated hierarchy of type classes, the
main purpose of which was to enable the usage of @ResourceT@ on top of the
@ST@ monad. However, this doesn't really make much sense conceptually, and
the reason it was done is because conduits are very closely tied to
@ResourceT@, and an instance for @ST@ would enable the usage of @ResourceT@
in pure code.
.
This package completely does away with the supporting type class hierarchy,
and as such, this version of @ResourceT@ can only be used with @IO@ or
@IO@-like monads.
.
This package is motivated by a belief that the iteratee problem and the
resource finalization problem are orthogonal. This package is ideal for
usage with the @pipes@ library.
