Affect — Streamlined and natural concurrency model for OCaml

Affect is a streamlined and natural concurrency model for OCaml.

It provides parallel asynchronous functions and first-class synchronous actions to orchestrate them. The resulting concurrency model has structured cooperative concurrency, structured cancellation and structured effect handling.

Affect is distributed under the ISC license. The base library has no dependencies. It optionally depends on the cmdliner library and the OCaml unix library.

Affect can be installed with opam:

Questions are welcome but better asked on the OCaml forum than on the issue tracker.

Examples

A few examples can be found in the test directory.
