I was rather frustrated with the use of Template Haskell as the main entry point for the big framework projects (Yesod, Snap, etc.) While these frameworks offer template-free options, they seem like second class citizens. So I started work on Wheb with the goal that out of the box I could start a project quickly, without Template Haskell and without the dreaded long list of Language Pragma's at the top.  I was inspired by the simplicity of the Scotty project which showed how easy a Haskell server could be to write.

I have included a couple of plugin examples for handling Auth and Sessions. Wheb is database and template agnostic, but I plan to write some plugins soon to make it easier to use the major libraries with Wheb.

I just started work on it last weekend but wanted to share my progress. Take a look if it interests you!
