I wonder why 'we' aren't pushing things like this big time. When Ruby took off, more than anything else it was because of Rails.

i agree that web programming is a domain that cannot be ignored

i have wondered what it would take to get a mod_haskell for apache

wash looks interesting, but very few companies and isps are going to run a niche fastcgi platform (even those already running rails). apache is still the de facto open serving platform.

If you use Network.FastCGI, and compile (linking statically is a good idea as well) on your own machine, you can run Haskell code on any web host that supports FastCGI. That's what I do with Hope, http:// hope.bringert.net/ /Björn
