I agree some kind of quality certificates should exist on Hackage. --Andreas On 06.12.2017 15:12, alex@centromere.net wrote:
Hi all,
I use Haskell in production, and when choosing a library I wonder, "Is this package production-ready?". In addition to evaluating the quality of the code, I consider various factors such as the most recent upload date, number of downloads, the age of the last commit, the author's reputation, the number of packages which depend on that package, and the number of issues open and closed.
I think it would be interesting to add a feature to Hackage and/or Stackage which allows companies to advertise that they use a package in production. If they elect to be anonymous, only the count would increase. I believe that this data would not only help inform my library choices, but also help communicate Haskell's merits to industry.
What do you all think?
