Streamly: Idiomatic Haskell with C-Like Performance
Upgrading to 0.9.0+
Please read the Streamly 0.9.0 Upgrade Guide.
Overview
Streamly is a powerful Haskell library that provides developers with the essential building blocks to create safe, scalable, modular, and high-performance software. With Streamly, developers can enjoy the benefits of Haskell's type safety while leveraging C-like program performance. Streamly offers a comprehensive range of features, comprising:
- Haskell's strong type safety.
- C-program-like performance capabilities.
- Flexible, modular building blocks.
- Idiomatic functional programming.
- Fearless, declarative concurrency for seamless parallel execution.
- A collection of ecosystem libraries for fast and efficient development.
Check out the Streamly Getting Started Guide and Quick Overview for an introduction to the library. For more detailed documentation, visit the Haskell Streamly website.
Blazing Fast
Streamly delivers C-like speed in Haskell by fusing stream pipelines using the stream-fusion technique, resulting in compiled code that is equivalent to handwritten C code, eliminating intermediate allocations and function calls.
For a comprehensive comparison of Streamly to other Haskell streaming libraries, check out our streaming benchmarks page. In fact, Streamly's fused loops can be up to 100 times faster than those of libraries without stream fusion.
Declarative Concurrency
Streamly introduces declarative concurrency to standard functional streaming abstractions. Declarative concurrency abstracts away the low-level details of concurrency management, such as locks and threads, and allows for easier and safer parallelization of code. For example, with Streamly you can do things like repeat actions concurrently to generate a stream of results, map functions concurrently on a stream, and combine multiple streams concurrently to create a single output stream.
Unified API
Streamly provides a comprehensive and unified API for basic programming needs, covering a wide range of areas including streaming, concurrency, logic programming, reactive programming, pinned and unpinned arrays, serialization, builders, parsers, unicode processing, file-io, file system events, and network-io. By unifying functionality from disparate Haskell libraries, Streamly simplifies development while delivering equivalent or improved performance. Additionally, the complexity of handling combinations of lazy, strict, bytestring, and text is eliminated by using streams for lazy evaluation, and by generalizing bytestring and text to arrays.
Check out Streamly's documentation for more information about Streamly's features.
Batteries Included
In addition to the fundamental programming constructs, Streamly also provides higher-level functionality through supporting packages such as streamly-process, streamly-shell, and streamly-coreutils that are essential for general programming tasks. Check out the streamly-examples repository for some program snippets.
Highly Modular
Traditionally, you must choose between modularity and performance when
writing code. However, with Haskell Streamly, you can have
the best of both worlds. By taking advantage of GHC's stream fusion
optimizations (such as case-of-case and spec-constr), Streamly achieves
performance comparable to an equivalent C program while still allowing
for highly modular code.
