Description

See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/parallel-haskell/Hr6vkpz3FB4 for background info.

The heart of this topic seems to be a question as to whether we should distinguish between Haskell in the Cloud (e.g., on some IaaS/PaaS engine, and utilising orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes), and distributed haskell (a set of libraries and primitives for building applications that communicate across process and/or machine boundaries.

Research direction

Start with the linked parallel-haskell discussion and compare its terminology with the repository description. The issue names no files, tests, or concrete documentation target; done would require an agreed distinction between Haskell in the Cloud and distributed Haskell, followed by documenting that decision.
