Hey everyone, This is my first post to the Snap mailing list and I wanted to thank everyone for the outstanding contribution to the community. Gregory was kind enough last week to take the time to explain a few things to me over IRC, and I've been finding myself increasingly eager to put Snap to use and contribute back to the project wherever I can. Thinking about practical applications, one question that immediately sprang to my mind was how a set of custom configuration data say in a custom made record could be persisted across Request-> Response cycles? As far as I can see, there is no place in the Snap monad or anywhere else to do this. Some typical use cases would be: * Database connection information * Open database handles, a pool of connections, etc. * Various app parameters * One-time loaded large mappings like i18n translation data (from YAML or .po files) to be used in dynamically rendering the templates I suspect this may be a recurring need and I was wondering how folks chose to tackle it. Thank you, Oz
