Compact regions library for Haskell
I am working with a project that creates a large immutable long-living structure that unfortunately contains a bunch of `Data.ByteString`s. I was hoping to be able to easily reduce GC...
I have a motivating use case, favoring direct mmap over serialization/deserialization, where a Compact Region tends to be reused by many machines, from multiple parallel processes, and even multiple lifecycles...
To use `compact` to serialize from/to `ByteString`s, currently we have to go through temporary files, which makes it a bit inconvenient. Surely in-memory serialization has a lot use cases, so...
Despite my excitement about compact regions ever since it came out, I’ve never actually been able to use it for serialization. The restriction that the server and client be running...
Only needs the `base` dependency upper bound bumped, so can be done with a Haakage metadat edit.
