Give Parse effect the ability to parse concurrently

Open patrickt opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Now that #614 is taken care of (or will be soon), we need to reexamine our approach to concurrency.

The simplest big win is to change

data Parse (m :: Type -> Type) k where
  Parse :: Parser term -> Blob -> Parse m term

to

data Parse (m :: Type -> Type) k where
  Parse :: Traversable t => Parser term -> t Blob -> Parse m term

Because Parse ends up running an IO action, we can use mapConcurrently to perform said operations. Unfortunately, this requires a bit of plumbing; I’ve taken two swings at this and whiffed. Now that alacarte syntax is gone, this might be a good move.
