Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell and scripting

That's also the approach Yi uses. I'm fairly certain there's a library on hackage that makes writing up programs in that style fairly trivial, although I can't remember the details right now. I'd look up Yi as a starting point. -R. Kyle Murphy -- Curiosity was framed, Ignorance killed the cat. On Mon, May 3, 2010 at 16:29, minh thu wrote:

Hi,

You can take the xmonad approach: the configuration file is written in Haskell and compiled, so no need for another language.

One of my students has worked on scripting approach in Haskell:

Hello Café,

I don't know if you know conky. It's a well-known open-source system

monitor (a software that displays information on the desktop, like CPU frequency, disk usage, network rate, etc.).

It is quite good, but it's very descriptive, and even if you can call shell commands it's clearly not made for being scripted. What I would do is to make a similar system monitor, which base would be compiled Haskell code, but that would be scriptable with some DSL, or already existing interpreted language. I've thought about a Lisp/Scheme language, since those languages are functional, dynamically typed and simple (so enable a quick scripting) and I'm not very keen on making my own DSL

What I would like to know is: 1) If you have other solutions 2) How do haskellers usually script their applications _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
