threaded-0.0.0: README.md
# threaded
Aims to make managed, horizontal scaling easier - given some process that reads from a concurrent channel,
writes to a concurrent channel, and returns when it's finished, then it should be horizontally scalable
with respect to some thread identifier:
```haskell
main :: IO ()
main = do
let mult inputs outputs = do
-- get first input
x <- atomically (readTChanRW inputs)
-- get second input
y <- atomically (readTChanRW inputs)
let o :: Integer
o = (x :: Integer) * (y :: Integer)
-- write output
atomically (writeTChanRW outputs o)
-- return
-- incoming messages for specific threads
incoming <- writeOnly <$> atomically newTChanRW
(mainThread, outgoing) <- threaded incoming mult
echoingThread <- async $ forever $ do
-- do something with each thread's output
(k,o) <- atomically (readTChanRW outgoing)
putStrLn $ show k ++ ": " ++ show o
atomically $ writeTChanRW incoming ("one",1)
atomically $ writeTChanRW incoming ("two",2)
atomically $ writeTChanRW incoming ("three",3)
atomically $ writeTChanRW incoming ("one",1)
atomically $ writeTChanRW incoming ("two",2)
atomically $ writeTChanRW incoming ("three",3)
threadDelay 1000000
cancel echoingThread
cancel mainThread
```
If the thread's identifier doesn't exist when sending an input, then the `threaded` manager will spark a new
one. If it does exist, then it just plumbs it to its input channel. Once the process returns, the thread with
that identifier is killed and garbage collected.
