Description

This library provides the ability to launch and interact with external processes. It wraps around the process library, and intends to improve upon it by:

  1. Using type variables to represent the standard streams, making them easier to manipulate

  2. Use proper concurrency (e.g., the async library) in place of the weird lazy I/O tricks for such things as consuming output streams

  3. Allow for more complex concurrency by providing STM-based functions

  4. Using binary I/O correctly

  5. Providing a more composable API, designed to be easy to use for both simple and complex use cases
