<DIV dir=ltr>I'd like a recommendation for a way to write web apps in Haskell.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Background: I have written code in Python, C++ and Haskell for many years.
However I have done no substantial web programming.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>My goal is mathematics-education-themed apps to run on browsers on any
device. At first I'll be happy to run the app on my laptop and connect locally
with an iPad or smartphone while I sit with my students. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Later I may deploy it at scale "in the cloud" (I mean anyone connected to
the internet can run it, and the servers belong to the hosting
provider). </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Why a browser app? I figure it's the best way to get a portable app that
will run on phones, tablets, and computers of all OS's.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Why Haskell? The goal right now is fast prototyping and experimentation,
especially for some fairly complex algorithms. I spent some time with
JavaScript, TypeScript, and Scala.JS. I'm just so much more comfortable in
Haskell with which I can write clean & sophisticated algorithms
quickly.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I see lots of mentions of Haskell "platforms" and "stacks" etc. on the
Haskell Wiki. But I will confess I don't really know what a "platform" or
"stack" is, or which of the options will support my needs. I know close to zero
about apps in the browser.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Regarding my UI needs, my app will have lots of graphics and lots of things
to click on, drag, etc. It will need to be touch-screen responsive. </DIV>
