Hello,<br><br>I&#39;m interested in Haskell web programming. Quick googling took me to HAppS, HVAC, WASH and do-it-yourself blog posts.<br><br>I tried HVAC, which doesn&#39;t build on GHC 6.10.1 (if somebody&#39;s interested, I&#39;ll post some compiler complaints). I really like its approach, though.<br>
<br>Then I tried to DIY: wired Haskell to Lighty using FastCGI. This approach works, but leaves very much to desire: XHTML combinators don&#39;t really give you compile-time validation, so what is the point of writing it in code? I had thought I&#39;d need some templating, so I tried HStringTemplate to find that it doesn&#39;t build on my GHC (BTW, this templating engine has some neat concepts, which I like :-)).<br>
<br>Then I turned to HAppS, which is painfully slow to build on my development machine, and I think it is too monolithic. Besides, it looks like it depends on mostly experimental GHC features, and lacks documentation! I&#39;m not a Haskell Jedi, so I think there&#39;s no way I can make it to work.<br>
<br>I found out that WASH uses CGI, which is sooo retro. Is it just my misunderstanding, maybe?<br><br>There&#39;s also a question regarding which DBC library to use. Hackage has Takusen, HaskellDB, HDBC, HSQL. So which one?<br>
<br>I&#39;d be very glad if somebody gave an advice to a noob Haskell web programmer. :)<br><br>Regards,<br>Artyom.<br>
