haskell httpd

[S. Alexander Jacobson]

Frustrating.

Its been 4 years since I seriously looked at
Haskell.  I would have expected that over this
time, someone here would have consolidated it into
a language useful for real world applications.

The Haskell in Practice page is shockingly short
and many of the examples are not actually Haskell
in practice.

Does anyone here eat the Haskell dog food or is
this all just fooling around (basic reasearch)?

Simon, why did you write the Haskell web server?

Ok. Is anyone running this web server at all?
What is changing in Haskell that makes 3 year old
code so uncompilable?
