Re: [Haskell-cafe] Need advice: Haskell in Web Client

On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 10:47 AM, John Lenz
I don't see a great need of developing something like GWT for haskell, since we already have good support for all sorts of existing tools that span more than just haskell, like extjs, yui, and jqueryui.
Haskell makes my work doable in many areas where other PLs will take enormous efforts and time to achieve the same result. It would be great if I could write Web client code in pure Haskell (no HTML, no DOM, no Ajax, ..) compile it to Javascript and just run it in the browser and do all GUI and backend communication work. Simple as that. Regards, Dmitri.

not exactly Haskell, but you may want to have a look at OPA http://opalang.org/ the idea is that you write all of the application in one (statically typed, functional) language and the framework takes care of distributing the code to server and client (and on the client, it shows up as JavaScript) J.W.
