Cool. I agree that other types would be interesting, but as you said,
implementation is a little tricky.
I'm still in the process of modifying it as I integrate it with Yesod. In
particular, support for subsites is getting better. I'm hoping it gets to
the point of proper web plugins.

Hello,
I poked at it a bit, but don't have anything especially interesting to say.
Obviously, I would like it if there was ways to do things like map integers to newtyped values. Or to allow the use of 'variables' other than strings and ints. But, I am not actually clear that those things can be implemented :)
Once I actually try to use quasi for a project I will likely have more feedback.

web-routes-quasi is now at the point where it can be used for sites, and I'd love to hear some feedback. I've put together a little sample that demonstrates how you can use quasi-quoting and define your routes, embed subsites and serve the resulting application via WAI. (My example uses WAI, but the package itself is not tied to WAI.)
The code is on github[1]; the main function for the blog is in blog.hs (with the lowercase b). I believe this just depends on Jeremy's web-routes package, wai and wai-extra.
Note that I did not use web-routes-wai; I think there are some problems in there for breaking up the pathinfo, and I didn't have time to dig through it. Also, this package currently ignores entirely the defaultPage component of Site, though if there is desire support can be added for it.
One minor bug is that you can't have an alternate GET, POST, PUT or DELETE constructor imported; hopefully that will get cleaned up.
Any comments and suggestions are welcome! My goal is to port Yesod over to this as soon as the web-routes set of packages are released, so if you're interested in Yesod, you should be interested in this too ;).
