Does the Haskell community have an equivalent to C++ community's Boost project with the aim of writing libraries for the eventual inclusion into Haskell?
i guess that the only reason why C++ people need such project is because there are too many developers that want to develop such libs. that's not true for Haskell. for example, the most successful library of 2006 - ByteString - was developed by just 3 main contributors. if you want to develop somewhat useful - just do it. if you want to add more functionality to existing library - including base! - just send your patches to the maintainer. the only thing we missing, imho, is a darcs repository (or instructions for dummies like me on how to setup my own publicly accessible repository, say, on haskell.org) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
