[Haskell-cafe] [Announce] CabalFind 0.1

2005-09-10 Thread Dimitry Golubovsky
Some time ago, I expressed an idea that certain search engines may be used to collect information about existing .cabal packages whose developers made them indexable by those engines. Finally, I have written an experimental library, CabalFind. The library provides a generalized interface to

[Haskell-cafe] Where to start about writing web/HTTP apps ?

2005-09-10 Thread gary ng
Hi, I just start learning haskell and have to say that it is stunning in how precise it can be(coming from a background of C then python/perl/js). I want to write apps for WEB and have briefly read WASH. However, that seems to be a CGI based solution. What I want is a native HTTP server(written

I emailed the WASH guy the other day and he is currently working on integrating it with a web server. There is talk about Haskell server pages. It sounds quite interesting. I'm impressed with WASH as it is, though. I too am hoping to see it when it moves from a plain CGI model to the something

Frederik, [I am trying to drag this voluminous thread to cafe.] Jeremy Gibbons mentioned Martin Erwig and Deling Ren's paper on monadification. Very useful, indeed -- also with regard to the question you seem to ponder about; also see here for an early take on monadification, if you like

How can I use Haskell to do general Windows programming, like you would be able to do if you were using one of those Windows IDEs: *moving data between windows apps *gaining access to windows registry *in general, access to the available Windows APIs I'm sure folks must be writing Windows apps

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to see it. What I would like to see is also some form of templating system like HTMLTemplate in Python, that is reading in HTML then merge in data using the DOM model, on the server(may be the XML package in haskell already does it). As for AJAX, I would assume
