We should just keep on playing with new ideas and abstractions until we all see the big picture. Some standards will arise eventually.
Absolutely! It certainly strikes me as being too early to try to build the "one web framework/API" in Haskell. I share some reservations about WAI. It's certainly better than using lazy I/O for high-volume web servers, but the enumerator/iteratee stuff is far less obvious than lazy I/O as an abstraction. Let's spend some more time playing before building up pressure to rewrite web code using WAI. There's just no way we can know what other ideas people will come up with in the next few months or years. -- Chris Smith
