The Happstack project is intended to continue development. For more details, see http://happstack.com/faq.html .
So we've got HAppS, Happstack, WASH, Turbinado, probably others... Does anybody know how all these relate to each other? Where their strengths and weaknesses lie?
It's nice to have choice, but without knowing what you're choosing between, it's hard to use it well.
A comparative analysis of the 10+ Haskell web frameworks would be awesome.
happstack, wash, fastcgi.., turbinado, perpubplat, riviera, salvia, kibro, ella, what was that one launched yesterday? *ah, yesod...
That's a lot of frameworks to try & compare and I don't think any one person would have the time to do more than a couple, but perhaps we could all agree on some kind of non-trivial, but still simple, application that we could implement & deploy in the most natural way for each framework. It'd probably be easy to just point prospective framework users to the resulting series of blog posts elucidating the features of each. I'd vote for something like a trimmed down reddit clone, something that I'd expect everyone could do whether they deploy it via Apache or something that's part of the framework such as happstack-server.
