27API. The streaming API of streamly is close to the monadic streams API of the

28[vector](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector) package and similar in

32[list-t](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/list-t) and also the logic

34the concurrency side, it subsumes the functionality of the

35[async](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/async) package. Because it streams

36and supports concurrency we can write FRP applications similar in concept to
