- *JuicyPixels:* people like the idea of having a library like this one, perhaps even this one, but there is concern that this API hasn't baked enough.
The library is currently being improved significantly performance-wise, so
waiting a bit won't hurt. I will also try to write a blog post or two about it, providing some kind of tutorial. But it's definitely a domain that would be nice to have covered by HP at some point. Areas still looking for good candidates (if these are simple could make it
this round):
- simple db like dbm or sqlite support
I guess sqllite-simple, mysql-simple and friends (?) could be considered here.
- file utils for common file system manipulations
Bryan wrote a package for this, I have used it in a few projects and
everything went pretty smoothly: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/filemanip -- this would only bring unix-compat in. Maybe could be considered at some point too? Plus, it has the 'bos' guarantee.
- 2D graphics - perhaps gloss and/or diagrams?
Having used both I can only agree. But that starts bringing in quite a few
dependencies. I guess it's something we can't avoid at some point anyway. -- Alp Mestanogullari
