Is there an equivalent of Haskell's CHP for Scala?

Question

Clojure has this amazing library implementing Tony Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes called core.async .

Haskell appears to have an equivalent called chp . ( Not sure if it compiles under GHC 7.8 ).

My question is Is there an equivalent of Haskell's CHP for Scala?

Answer 1

You should have a look at this:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/scala-user/NljrQ4Mc-aI/3ISm68sqLNAJ

It provides a really interesting list of alternatives for doing CSP in Scala and doesn't recommend JCSP since it's development apparently stopped in 2011.

It also talks about a really interesting paper written by Andrew Bate at Oxford that describes a DSL in Scala for CSP but that whose implementation hasn't been open sourced.

It finally describes Quasar that seems the best alternative. If you're interested in Quasar, this post gives a good description of how Quasar works.
