The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[ANN] Haskell Streamly 0.9.0 Release!
https://github.com/composewell/streamly/issues/1307 seems related, but it was a long time ago. We weren't heavy users anyway, so our streaming philosophy is now "conduit if it's simple and plugging into a conduit-using library, streaming if you're doing complicated things".

Parallel streaming in Haskell: Part 3 - A parallel work consumer
Interesting! Which of the streamly modules is implementing that part? Is it one of the workLoop implementations in Streamly.Internal.Data.Stream.Async?

Haskell Libraries I Love
I want to like streamly, but the API is so huge, yet I feel like I'm doing things on a too low level of abstraction. (And as long as it needs a ghc plugin I doubt it'll become the de facto standard.) Though maybe I just haven't used it enough. It does have great docs at https://streamly.composewell.com/ and they seem to be taking both performance, dependency weight and API design quite seriously.
- Edward Kmett reflects on the benefits of Haskell as a functional programming language - especially at scale.

oath: Composable Concurrent Computation Done Right
You missed streamly in your list of alternatives: https://github.com/composewell/streamly/blob/master/docs/streamly-vs-async.md
- It's nice to see how Streamly has now become its own separate beast

Haskell FFI call safety and garbage collection
Here is a "bug" report that describes an example of such behavior: https://github.com/simonmar/async/issues/93

Rust async is colored, and that’s not a big deal
What do you mean by that? Blocking functions (without any yield points) certainly exist in Haskell, unless one uses -fno-omit-yields (see here).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing streamly and async you can also consider the following projects:
stm-conduit - STM-based channels for conduits.
throttle-io-stream - Throttler between a producer and a consumer function
pipes-concurrency - Concurrency for the pipes ecosystem
async-combinators
restricted-workers - Interactive-diagrams
conceit - Concurrently + Either
rwlock - A simple implementation of a multiple-reader / single-writer locks using STM
haxl - A Haskell library that simplifies access to remote data, such as databases or web-based services.
theatre - Minimalistic actor library for Haskell
lvish - The LVish Haskell library
consumers
