I like iteration as a paradigm for I / O, but I have some problems with names.
I am having problems developing relationships with these names. Can someone explain their origin? Definition of data Stream a = Chunks [a] | EOF data Stream a = Chunks [a] | EOF worse if you like. This is not in line with my previous view of flow, because it is only a small part of the total flow.
It seems that if Iteratee consume things, Enumerator produce them, and Enumeratee fulfill both of these names, such as Sink , Source and Transformer or Consumer , Producer and Transformer might be the best choice? Is there any reason not related to the convention why these names are not consistent with ideas?
Out of all 11 options from this topic, I'm intrigued. John Millikin will take this old Haskell-Cafe thread about a variation that statically fixes the "diverging iteration" problem (the iteration problem that returns Continue in response to EOF), but my name problems apply to all versions that I have yet seen.
