So is conduit the recommended streaming IO library now? I saw there were a bunch of implementations of iteratees and was waiting for the community to coalesce around one.
Conduit and Pipes are popular, as far as community support, libraries and implementations go. Secondarily there are also io-streams and machines. I don't think the community has settled or will settle on a single one.
Yup! Chris is absolutely correct. There's several different choices of libs for streaming computation that make different tradeoffs, and behave differently and are tuned for different workloads
