There are lots of small libraries that are still missing. For example an equivalent of Python's urllib, a really fast and *simple* HTTP server, a high-performance and *full features* database library for working with e.g. MySQL, etc.
Ok, so let's try to make a list. Here's some stuff I would like to see.
Good list!
"Low level" stuff - Fast, simple HTTP server with no abstractions
I plan to take a stab at this after I'm done with the event library.
- IMAP library Data storage - abstraction of relational databases (something like HaskellDB? based on Takusen?) - abstraction of nosql databases
I'm also interested at writing a client library for Cassandra.
- purely functional databases (something like Happstack?) Controller abstractions - a good URL routing library (where you can only produce and link to valid urls) - a serializable continuations-based library (especially the serializable part is hard), something like Clean's iTasks. View abstractions - High-performance HTML combinators
I created a GSoC project proposal for this here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1580
- generic programming for the web - simplified formlets - abstractions over "web components", e.g. composable components that contain HTML, CSS and Javascript. maybe composed using something like FRP.
