Thank you for the article, it is great read. I'm trying to follow haskell-oriented blogs, some of them are cool to read, while more deeper ones are harder to follow (probably it is about me, not about author!).

Anyway, I often struggle to understand "what problem is author solving exactly", in terms "what is the benefit if we create such recursive type (or whatever else is the theme)" ? Somehow, there are lot of articles making some magic and showing "how can this be done in haskell", but at the end it is hard to understand "what is the benefit here, which real-life problem can I solve by using this technique, how to relate this with real world".

Please do not get me wrong, this not only about this post, but somehow very often in haskell - related posts. Or is it only me ?

Just realized that sec (simple event correlator) is exactly what I need for home automation - and now creating / gathering logs from all devices (TVs, 433Mhz sensors, camera motions etc), shipping to central log, and setting / fine tuning different alerts. E.g. sending images from cameras while my mobile device is not on WiFi, similar auto on/off for home alarm etc
