    In case anyone is interested, there's a long discussion on this ticket. Still hoping somebody will respond to my comment.

    In safe-exception and uniftio it was decided to rethrow the original exception exactly because they decided to use uninterruptibleMask, see here for details.

    unliftio (and safe-exceptions) contains a very controversial choice of of using uninterruptibleMask inside its bracket. The argument for it seem to come from this issue and comes from the fact that one of the most popular resource finalizers hClose is interruptible. This is a simplification. It is interruptible only if a file handle is used concurrently. Such usage of file handles is rather odd, and it suggest wrong architecture, for example leaking file handles using concurrency. When using file handles in synchronous setting, what withFile pattern encourages, hClose will not block and thus mask is enough.

  • How lazy do push streams need to be?

    Re Haskell Foldl: do you mean it doesn't support finite streams? Because the limitation of Foldl is precisely the fact that it is strict and doesn't support early termination. See https://github.com/Gabriella439/foldl/issues/85
