Yes, the spec is almost a direct translation from Rack. For middleware, I translated some from Rack, but it does not have to be a port. I'm just lazy. Rack borrowed some basic middleware from WSGI too, like Lint. About the style, it's a bit weird, yes. But only in module scope ;) On Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 7:00 PM, Sebastiaan Visser wrote:

What kind of port is this? Direct translation from ruby source?

I see that you are using the (.) for OO-style reversed function application. Which feels a bit weird at first sight.

Snippet from your Hack.Handler.Kibro:

...

handle app = do  env <- get_env  response <- app env .liftIO

 -- set response  response.headers.mapM_ (splash setHeader)  response.status.show.setHeader "Status"  response.body.output

Hia,

A few interesting progress on Hack:

* many middleware ported from Rack, including a lambda! ( just like a pony for wsgi, and a lobster for rack ) * 2 handlers, one for Kibro on fcgi / lighttpd, one for Hyena web server * apps are portable, Bamboo is a port of Panda that runs on Hack, works fine with both handlers * Hyena handler is still experimental

A lambda app looks like this

-- Main.hs source

module Main where

import Hack import Hack.Utils

import Hack.Handler.Hyena import Hack.Contrib.Lambda

main = run $ lambda dummy_app

-- compile

ghc --make -O2 Main.hs

-- run ./Main

now go to http://localhost:3000/lambda

Cheers,
