as a contributor to the other ElasticSearch client - kudos. This is much nicer than ours in many ways :)

[coolsunglasses]

Thank you very much and thanks to everyone that helped me build this. You, carter, and the others in the Haskell/Haskell.au IRC channels were a big help. The thank-you list would be huge if I tried to list everybody that made a library I used or whose blog post helped me along.

Other ES client? In haskell?

[mwotton]

yeah - worked on it a bit with Ollie Charles.

it's not very principled, tbh. uses error etc rather than proper sum types for returning errors.

[coolsunglasses]

To be fair, errors are implicitly encoded in the HTTP statuses and I'm not doing anything about Conduit's exceptions right now. This is something I'd like to fix later.

Ah right, I thought there might be another one I didn't know about! ocharles tends to be a lot more principled these days if it's any comfort :-)
