[Haskell-beginners] Looking for some pro bono haskell work

Tue Apr 5 19:12:30 CEST 2011

Hello Ramy,

Yesod is a tightly integrated web framework, while Happstack is more
like a set of libraries for web development.  The main difference is
that Happstack uses normal Haskell approaches to everything and allows
you to use individual components easily, while the idea of Yesod is to
add more integration and some own language (by Template Haskell and
quasi-quoting) to allow you to write less code.

You can be very productive with both of them.  If you want more freedom,
use Happstack.  If you want more integration, use Yesod.  Personally I
found myself to have shorter development cycles with Yesod, but it has a
steep learning curve, because you need to understand Haskell and a few
of its extensions well to use it.

That's just my opinion, by the way.  Others may have made different
experiences.

Greets,
Ertugrul
