Hi, is WASH still active, what's the current status of it? I'm looking for a Haskell version of Smalltalk's Seaside, at first glance WASH seems to come close. Günther
Hi Günther, the ideas of WASH will never die. However AFAIK the implentation has never been updated to work with servers such as HappStack. I may be wrong about this. I tried making WASH perfect by getting 100% DTD validation: http://github.com/MarcWeber/vxml Somewhen I was lost in the type system. I also noticed that I don't want 100% validation because this actually means you can't write <ul> </ul> Because the XHTML DTD does't allow empty uls. It's not a big problem though. It's not ready to be used. That's why I didn't even upload it to hackage. I'll watch this thread and I'll see who can give more information. Marc Weber
Hi, well I followed klondykes advise and followed through with the examples on the http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Practical_web_programming_in_Haskell site. The authors did point out at the very beginning that the approach shown was not very sophisticated and I'd agree with that :) . Of what I *read* about WASH that is more like what I had in mind, state of the art sort of thing. How come it's discontinued or not maintained? It pretty much looks like Seaside just in Haskell. As I said this is by judging from what I *read*, I haven't actually used it yet. Is this technique continued in some other project maybe? Günther
