[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: Haskell in the Cloud (http://quid2.org)

[Pasqualino "Titto" Assini]

Hi David,

no there is no direct relationship to distributed haskell.

Quid2's focus is not so much on extending Haskell itself and its
runtime to work in a distributed fashion but rather to provide a
global naming system for functional values.

Very similar to the Web, whose main innovation is to provides a global
naming system for all kind of resources that previously had only local
names (/dir/myfile versus http://ww.myserver.com/myfile).

A description of Quid2 architecture will soon be available and it will
be clearer how is meant to work.

It will be far from complete, a working functional web will only
emerge if many different ideas converge in a coherent whole.

Best,

    titto
