P. C. Shyamshankar bff7b643f5 Refactor cachedComputation to use newMemo/runMemo.
Summary:
This revision refactors cachedComputation to only contain logic relevant to
where the request-scope memo lives; memo creation and running logic is delegated
to newMemo(with) and runMemo.

Comments in cachedComputation have been moved over to newMemo/runMemo, and a
benchmark for cachedComputation has been added to monadbench. Surprisingly,
performance might have improved, albeit very slightly.

Haxl

Haxl is a Haskell library that simplifies access to remote data, such as databases or web-based services. Haxl can automatically

  • batch multiple requests to the same data source,
  • request data from multiple data sources concurrently,
  • cache previous requests.

Having all this handled for you behind the scenes means that your data-fetching code can be much cleaner and clearer than it would otherwise be if it had to worry about optimizing data-fetching. We'll give some examples of how this works in the pages linked below.

There are two Haskell packages here:

  • haxl: The core Haxl framework
  • haxl-facebook (in example/facebook): An (incomplete) example data source for accessing the Facebook Graph API

To use Haxl in your own application, you will likely need to build one or more data sources: the thin layer between Haxl and the data that you want to fetch, be it a database, a web API, a cloud service, or whatever. The haxl-facebook package shows how we might build a Haxl data source based on the existing fb package for talking to the Facebook Graph API.
