Comment:

 Carter, closing this ticket as "duplicate" of some as of yet completely
 unspecified, future (!) work of yours with no concrete ETA is really quite
 rude and territorial.

 This ticket is about implementing a concrete proposal, which has been made
 before by others (the distributed-process developers, and the "Towards
 Haskell in the Cloud" authors).

 You seem to forget that this ticket is about a feature, independent of any
 implementation, and moreover independent of who carries it out. If you
 would like to help implement a feature that covers all the Cloud Haskell
 use cases, then we'd be happy to collaborate, because this is something
 that we at Tweag I/O are committed to allocate some of our own resources
 to have fixed. If that feature moreover happens to cover other use cases
 related to numeric computations, all the better!
