The IO monad and pure lists are a special case of streamly. On -- one hand, streamly extends the lists of pure values to lists of monadic -- actions, on the other hand it extends the IO monad with concurrent -- non-determinism. In simple imperative terms we can say that streamly extends -- the IO monad with @for@ loops and nested @for@ loops with concurrency -- support. Hopefully, this analogy becomes clearer once you go through this -- tutorial. -- -- Streaming in general enables writing modular, composable and scalable -- applications with ease, and concurrency allows you to make them scale and -- perform well. Streamly enables writing scalable concurrent applications -- without being aware of threads or synchronization. No explicit thread -- control is needed. Where applicable, concurrency rate is automatically -- controlled based on the demand by the consumer. However, combinators can be -- used to fine tune the concurrency control. -- -- Streaming and concurrency together enable expressing reactive applications -- conveniently. See the @CirclingSquare@ example in the examples directory for -- a simple SDL based FRP example. To summarize, streamly provides a unified -- computing framework for streaming, non-determinism and functional reactive -- programming in an elegant and simple API that is a natural extension of pure -- lists to monadic streams. -- -- In this tutorial we will go over the basic concepts and how to use the -- library.

Streamly streams provide concurrent composition -- and merging of streams. It can be considered as a concurrent list -- transformer. -- -- The basic stream type is 'Serial', it represents a sequence of IO actions, -- and is a 'Monad'. The 'Serial' monad is almost a drop in replacement for -- the 'IO' monad, IO monad is a special case of the 'Serial' monad; IO monad -- represents a single IO action whereas the 'Serial' monad represents a series -- of IO actions. The only change you need to make to go from 'IO' to 'Serial' -- is to use 'drain' to run the monad and to prefix the IO actions with -- either 'yieldM' or 'liftIO'. If you use liftIO you can switch from 'Serial' -- to IO monad by simply removing the 'drain' function; no other changes -- are needed unless you have used some stream specific composition or -- combinators. -- -- Similarly, the 'Serial' type is almost a drop in replacement for pure lists, -- pure lists are a special case of monadic streams. If you use 'nil' in place -- of '[]' and '|:' in place ':' you can replace a list with a 'Serial' stream. -- The only difference is that the elements must be monadic type and to operate -- on the streams we must use the corresponding functions from -- "Streamly.Prelude" instead of using the base "Prelude". -- $concurrentStreams -- -- Many stream operations can be done concurrently: -- -- * Streams can be generated concurrently. -- -- * Streams can be merged concurrently. -- -- * Multiple stages in a streaming pipeline can run concurrently. -- -- * Streams can be mapped and zipped concurrently. -- -- * In monadic composition they combine like a list transformer, -- providing concurrent non-determinism. -- -- There are three basic concurrent stream styles, 'Ahead', 'Async', and -- 'Parallel'. The 'Ahead' style streams are similar to 'Serial' except that -- they can speculatively execute multiple stream actions concurrently in -- advance. 'Ahead' would return exactly the same stream as 'Serial' except -- that it may execute the actions concurrently. The 'Async' style streams, -- like 'Ahead', speculatively execute multiple stream actions in advance but -- return the results in their finishing order rather than in the stream -- traversal order. 'Parallel' is like 'Async' except that it provides -- unbounded parallelism instead of controlled parallelism. -- -- For easy reference, we can classify the stream types based on /execution order/, -- /consumption order/, and /bounded or unbounded/ concurrency. -- Execution could be serial (i.e. synchronous) or asynchronous. In serial -- execution we execute the next action in the stream only after the previous -- one has finished executing. In asynchronous execution multiple actions in -- the stream can be executed asynchronously i.e. the next action can start -- executing even before the first one has finished. Consumption order -- determines the order in which the outputs generated by the composition are -- consumed. Consumption could be serial or asynchronous. In serial -- consumption, the outputs are consumed in the traversal order, in -- asynchronous consumption the outputs are consumed as they arrive i.e. first -- come first serve order. -- -- +------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ -- | Type | Execution | Consumption | Concurrency | -- +============+==============+==============+==============+ -- | 'Serial' | Serial | Serial | None | -- +------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ -- | 'Ahead' | Asynchronous | Serial | bounded | -- +------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ -- | 'Async' | Asynchronous | Asynchronous | bounded | -- +------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ -- | 'Parallel' | Asynchronous | Asynchronous | unbounded | -- +------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ -- -- All these types can be freely inter-converted using type conversion -- combinators or type annotations, without any cost, to achieve the desired -- composition style. To force a particular type of composition, we coerce the -- stream type using the corresponding type adapting combinator from -- 'serially', 'aheadly', 'asyncly', or 'parallely'. The default stream type -- is inferred as 'Serial' unless you change it by using one of the combinators -- or by using a type annotation. -- $flavors -- -- Streams can be combined using '<>' or 'mappend' to form a -- composite. Composite streams can be interpreted in a depth first or -- breadth first manner using an appropriate type conversion before -- consumption. Deep (e.g. 'Serial') stream type variants traverse a -- composite stream in a depth first manner, such that each stream is -- traversed fully before traversing the next stream. Wide -- (e.g. 'WSerial') stream types traverse it in a breadth first -- manner, such that one element from each stream is traversed before -- coming back to the first stream again. -- -- Each stream type has a wide traversal variant prefixed by 'W'. The wide -- variant differs only in the Semigroup\/Monoid, Applicative\/Monad -- compositions of the streams. -- The following table summarizes the basic types and the corresponding wide -- variants: -- -- @ -- +------------+-----------+ -- | Deep | Wide | -- +============+===========+ -- | 'Serial' | 'WSerial' | -- +------------+-----------+ -- | 'Ahead' | 'WAhead' | -- +------------+-----------+ -- | 'Async' | 'WAsync' | -- +------------+-----------+ -- @ -- -- Other than these types there are also 'ZipSerial' and 'ZipAsync' types that -- zip streams serially or concurrently using 'Applicative' operation. These -- types are not monads they are only applicatives and they do not differ in -- 'Semigroup' composition. -- -- $programs -- -- When writing concurrent programs it is advised to not use the concurrent -- style stream combinators blindly at the top level. That might create too -- much concurrency where it is not even required, and can even degrade -- performance in some cases. In some cases it can also lead to surprising -- behavior because of some code that is supposed to be serial becoming -- concurrent. Please be aware that all concurrency capable APIs that you may -- have used under the scope of a concurrent stream combinator will become -- concurrent. For example if you have a 'repeatM' somewhere in your program -- and you use 'parallely' on top, the 'repeatM' becomes fully parallel, -- resulting into an infinite parallel execution . Instead, use the -- /Keep It Serial and Stupid/ principle, start with the default serial -- composition and enable concurrent combinators only when and where necessary. -- When you use a concurrent combinator you can use an explicit 'serially' -- combinator to suppress any unnecessary concurrency under the scope of that -- combinator. -- $monadtransformers -- -- To represent streams in an arbitrary monad use the more general monad -- transformer types for example the monad transformer type corresponding to -- the 'Serial' type is 'SerialT'. @SerialT m a@ represents a stream of values -- of type 'a' in some underlying monad 'm'. For example, @SerialT IO Int@ is a -- stream of 'Int' in 'IO' monad. In fact, the type 'Serial' is a synonym for -- @SerialT IO@. -- -- Similarly we have monad transformer types for other stream types as well viz. -- 'WSerialT', 'AsyncT', 'WAsyncT' and 'ParallelT'. -- -- To lift a value from an underlying monad in a monad transformer stack into a -- singleton stream use 'lift' and to lift from an IO action use 'liftIO'. -- -- @ -- > S.'drain' $ liftIO $ putStrLn "Hello world!" -- Hello world! -- > S.'drain' $ lift $ putStrLn "Hello world!" -- Hello world! -- @ -- -- $generating -- -- We will assume the following imports in this tutorial.

The pure versions of -- these APIs are not concurrent, however you can use the monadic versions even -- for pure computations by wrapping the pure value in a monad to get the -- concurrent generation capability where required. -- -- The following code finishes in 3 seconds (6 seconds when serial): -- -- @ -- > let p n = threadDelay (n * 1000000) >> return n -- > S.'toList' $ 'parallely' $ p 3 |: p 2 |: p 1 |: S.'nil' -- [1,2,3] -- > S.'toList' $ 'aheadly' $ p 3 |: p 2 |: p 1 |: S.'nil' -- [3,2,1] -- @ -- The following finishes in 10 seconds (100 seconds when serial): -- -- @ -- > S.drain $ 'asyncly' $ S.'replicateM' 10 $ p 10 -- @ -- -- $eliminating -- -- We have already seen 'drain' and 'toList' to eliminate a stream in the -- examples above. 'drain' runs a stream discarding the results i.e. only -- for effects. 'toList' runs the stream and collects the results in a list. -- -- For other ways to eliminate a stream see the @Folding@ section in -- "Streamly.Prelude" module. -- $transformation -- -- Transformation over a stream is the equivalent of a @for@ loop construct in -- imperative paradigm. We iterate over every element in the stream and perform -- certain transformations for each element. Transformations may involve -- mapping functions over the elements, filtering elements from the stream or -- folding all the elements in the stream into a single value. Streamly streams -- are exactly like lists and you can perform all the transformations in the -- same way as you would on lists. -- -- Here is a simple console echo program that just echoes every input line, -- forever: -- -- @ -- > import Data.Function ((&)) -- > S.'drain' $ S.'repeatM' getLine & S.'mapM' putStrLn -- @ -- -- The following code snippet reads lines from standard input, filters blank -- lines, drops the first non-blank line, takes the next two, up cases them, -- numbers them and prints them: -- -- @ -- import "Streamly" -- import qualified "Streamly.Prelude" as S -- import Data.Char (toUpper) -- import Data.Function ((&)) -- -- main = S.'drain' $ -- S.'repeatM' getLine -- & S.'filter' (not . null) -- & S.'drop' 1 -- & S.'take' 2 -- & fmap (map toUpper) -- & S.'zipWith' (\\n s -> show n ++ " " ++ s) (S.'fromFoldable' [1..]) -- & S.'mapM' putStrLn -- @ -- $concurrentTransformation -- -- Monadic transformation functions 'mapM' and 'sequence' work concurrently -- when used with appropriate stream type combinators. The pure versions do not -- work concurrently, however you can use the monadic versions even for pure -- computations to get the concurrent transformation capability where required. -- -- This would print a value every second (2 seconds when serial): -- -- @ -- > let p n = threadDelay (n * 1000000) >> return n -- > S.'drain' $ S.aheadly $ S.'mapM' (\\x -> p 1 >> print x) (serially $ S.repeatM (p 1)) -- @ -- -- $concurrentApplication -- -- The concurrent function application operators '|$' and '|&' apply a stream -- argument to a stream function concurrently to compose a concurrent pipeline -- of stream processing functions: -- -- Because both the stages run concurrently, we would see a delay of only 1 -- second instead of 2 seconds in the following: -- -- @ -- > let p n = threadDelay (n * 1000000) >> return n -- > S.'drain' $ S.'repeatM' (p 1) '|&' S.'mapM' (\\x -> p 1 >> print x) -- @ -- $semigroup -- -- We can combine two streams into a single stream using semigroup composition -- operation '<>'. Streams can be combined in many different ways as described -- in the following sections, the '<>' operation behaves differently depending -- on the stream type in effect. The stream type and therefore the composition -- style can be changed at any point using one of the type combinators as -- discussed earlier. -- $imports -- -- In most of example snippets we do not repeat the imports. Where imports are -- not explicitly specified use the imports shown below. -- -- @ -- import "Streamly" -- import "Streamly.Prelude" ((|:), nil) -- import qualified "Streamly.Prelude" as S -- -- import Control.Concurrent -- import Control.Monad (forever) -- @ -- -- To illustrate concurrent vs serial composition aspects, we will use the -- following @delay@ function to introduce a sleep or delay specified in -- seconds. After the delay it prints the number of seconds it slept. -- -- @ -- delay n = S.'yieldM' $ do -- threadDelay (n * 1000000) -- tid \<- myThreadId -- putStrLn (show tid ++ ": Delay " ++ show n) -- @ -- $serial -- -- The 'Semigroup' operation '<>' of the 'Serial' type combines the two streams -- in a /serial depth first/ manner. We use the 'serially' type combinator to -- effect 'Serial' style of composition. We can also use an explicit 'Serial' -- type annotation for the stream to achieve the same effect. However, since -- 'Serial' is the default type unless explicitly specified by using a -- combinator, we can omit using an explicit combinator or type annotation for -- this style of composition. -- -- When two streams with multiple elements are combined in this manner, the -- monadic actions in the two streams are performed sequentially i.e. first all -- actions in the first stream are performed sequentially and then all actions -- in the second stream are performed sequentially. We call it -- /serial depth first/ as the full depth of one stream is fully traversed -- before we move to the next. The following example prints the sequence 1, 2, -- 3, 4: -- -- @ -- main = S.'drain' $ (print 1 |: print 2 |: nil) <> (print 3 |: print 4 |: nil) -- @ -- @ -- 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- @ -- -- All actions in both the streams are performed serially in the same thread. -- In the following example we can see that all actions are performed in the -- same thread and take a combined total of @3 + 2 + 1 = 6@ seconds: -- -- @ -- main = S.'drain' $ delay 3 <> delay 2 <> delay 1 -- @ -- @ -- ThreadId 36: Delay 3 -- ThreadId 36: Delay 2 -- ThreadId 36: Delay 1 -- @ -- -- The polymorphic version of the binary operation '<>' of the 'Serial' type is -- 'serial'. We can use 'serial' to join streams in a sequential manner -- irrespective of the type of stream: -- -- @ -- main = S.'drain' $ (print 1 |: print 2 |: nil) \`serial` (print 3 |: print 4 |: nil) -- @ -- $interleaved -- -- The 'Semigroup' operation '<>' of the 'WSerial' type combines the two -- streams in a /serial breadth first/ manner. We use the 'wSerially' type -- combinator to effect 'WSerial' style of composition. We can also use the -- 'WSerial' type annotation for the stream to achieve the same effect. -- -- When two streams with multiple elements are combined in this manner, we -- traverse all the streams in a breadth first manner i.e. one action from each -- stream is performed and yielded to the resulting stream before we come back -- to the first stream again and so on. -- The following example prints the sequence 1, 3, 2, 4 -- -- @ -- main = S.'drain' . 'wSerially' $ (print 1 |: print 2 |: nil) <> (print 3 |: print 4 |: nil) -- @ -- @ -- 1 -- 3 -- 2 -- 4 -- @ -- -- Even though the monadic actions of the two streams are performed in an -- interleaved manner they are all performed serially in the same thread. In -- the following example we can see that all actions are performed in the same -- thread and take a combined total of @3 + 2 + 1 = 6@ seconds: -- -- @ -- main = S.'drain' . 'wSerially' $ delay 3 <> delay 2 <> delay 1 -- @ -- @ -- ThreadId 36: Delay 3 -- ThreadId 36: Delay 2 -- ThreadId 36: Delay 1 -- @ -- -- The polymorphic version of the 'WSerial' binary operation '<>' is called -- 'wSerial'.

We use the 'aheadly' -- type combinator to effect 'Ahead' style of composition. We can also use an -- explicit 'Ahead' type annotation for the stream to achieve the same effect. -- -- When two streams are combined in this manner, the streams are traversed in -- depth first manner just like 'Serial', however it can execute the next -- stream concurrently and keep the results ready when its turn arrives. -- Concurrent execution of the next stream(s) is performed if the first stream -- blocks or if it cannot produce output at the rate that is enough to meet the -- consumer demand. Multiple streams can be executed concurrently to meet the -- demand. The following example would print the result in a second even -- though each action in each stream takes one second: -- -- @ -- main = do -- xs \<- S.'toList' . 'aheadly' $ (p 1 |: p 2 |: nil) <> (p 3 |: p 4 |: nil) -- print xs -- where p n = threadDelay 1000000 >> return n -- @ -- @ -- [1,2,3,4] -- @ -- -- Each stream is constructed 'aheadly' and then both the streams are merged -- 'aheadly', therefore, all the actions can run concurrently but the result is -- presented in serial order. -- -- You can also use the polymorphic combinator 'ahead' in place of '<>' to -- compose any type of streams in this manner. -- $async -- -- The 'Semigroup' operation '<>' of the 'Async' type combines the two -- streams in a depth first manner with parallel look ahead. We use the -- 'asyncly' type combinator to effect 'Async' style of composition. We -- can also use the 'Async' type annotation for the stream type to achieve -- the same effect. -- -- When two streams with multiple elements are combined in this manner, the -- streams are traversed in depth first manner just like 'Serial', however it -- can execute the next stream concurrently and return the results from it -- as they arrive i.e. the results from the next stream may be yielded even -- before the results from the first stream. Concurrent execution of the next -- stream(s) is performed if the first stream blocks or if it cannot produce -- output at the rate that is enough to meet the consumer demand. Multiple -- streams can be executed concurrently to meet the demand. -- In the example below each element in the stream introduces a constant delay -- of 1 second, however, it takes just one second to produce all the results. -- The results are not guaranteed to be in any particular order: -- -- @ -- main = do -- xs \<- S.'toList' . 'asyncly' $ (p 1 |: p 2 |: nil) <> (p 3 |: p 4 |: nil) -- print xs -- where p n = threadDelay 1000000 >> return n -- @ -- @ -- [4,2,1,3] -- @ -- -- The constituent streams are also composed in 'Async' manner and the -- composition of streams too. We can compose the constituent streams to run -- serially, in that case it would take 2 seconds to produce all the results. -- The elements in the serial streams would be in serial order in the results: -- -- @ -- main = do -- xs \<- S.'toList' . 'asyncly' $ (serially $ p 1 |: p 2 |: nil) <> (serially $ p 3 |: p 4 |: nil) -- print xs -- where p n = threadDelay 1000000 >> return n -- @ -- @ -- [3,1,2,4] -- @ -- -- In the following example we can see that new threads are started when a -- computation blocks. Notice that the output from the stream with the -- shortest delay is printed first. The whole computation takes @maximum of -- (3, 2, 1) = 3@ seconds: -- -- @ -- main = S.'drain' .

This is why we call it left-biased demand driven or -- adaptive concurrency style, the concurrency tends to stay on the left side -- of the composition as long as possible. More threads are started based on -- the pull rate of the consumer. The following example prints an output every -- second as all of the actions are concurrent. -- -- @ -- main = S.'drain' . 'asyncly' $ (delay 1 <> delay 2) <> (delay 3 <> delay 4) -- @ -- @ -- 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- @ -- -- All the computations may even run in a single thread when more threads are -- not needed. As you can see, in the following example the computations are -- run in a single thread one after another, because none of them blocks. -- However, if the thread consuming the stream were faster than the producer -- then it would have started parallel threads for each computation to keep up -- even if none of them blocks: -- -- @ -- main = S.'drain' .

We can use 'async' to join streams in a left biased -- adaptively concurrent manner irrespective of the type, notice that we have -- not used the 'asyncly' combinator in the following example: -- -- @ -- main = S.'drain' $ delay 3 \`async` delay 2 \`async` delay 1 -- @ -- @ -- ThreadId 42: Delay 1 -- ThreadId 41: Delay 2 -- ThreadId 40: Delay 3 -- @ -- -- Since the concurrency provided by this operator is demand driven it cannot -- be used when the composed computations start timers that are relative to -- each other because all computations may not be started at the same time and -- therefore timers in all of them may not start at the same time. When -- relative timing among all computations is important or when we need to start -- all computations at once for any reason 'Parallel' style must be used -- instead. -- -- 'Async' style utilizes resources optimally and should be preferred over -- 'Parallel' or 'WAsync' unless you really need those. 'Async' should be used -- when we know that the computations can run in parallel but we do not care if -- they actually run in parallel or not, that decision can be left to the -- scheduler based on demand. Also, note that 'async' operator can be used to fold -- infinite number of streams in contrast to the 'Parallel' or 'WAsync' styles, -- because it does not require us to run all of them at the same time in a fair -- manner. -- $wasync -- -- The 'Semigroup' operation '<>' of the 'WAsync' type combines two streams in -- a concurrent manner using /breadth first traversal/. We use the 'wAsyncly' -- type combinator to effect 'WAsync' style of composition.

We use -- the 'parallely' type combinator to effect 'Parallel' style of composition. -- We can also use the 'Parallel' type annotation for the stream type to -- achieve the same effect. -- -- When two streams with multiple elements are combined in this manner, the -- monadic actions in both the streams are performed concurrently with a fair -- round robin scheduling. The outputs are yielded in the order in which the -- actions complete. This is pretty similar to the 'WAsync' type, the -- difference is that 'WAsync' is adaptive to the consumer demand and may or -- may not execute all actions in parallel depending on the demand, whereas -- 'Parallel' runs all the streams in parallel irrespective of the demand. -- -- The following example sends a query to all the three search engines in -- parallel and prints the name of the search engines in the order in which the -- responses arrive.

In core concepts streamly is -- strikingly similar to @dunai@. dunai was designed from a FRP perspective -- and streamly was originally designed from a concurrency perspective. -- However, both have similarity at the core. -- $furtherReading -- -- * Read the documentation of "Streamly" module -- * Read the documentation of "Streamly.Prelude" module -- * See the examples in the "examples" directory of the package -- * See the tests in the "test" directory of the package
