Web development. We use snap.

  Who's we if you don't mind me asking? How's your experience of snap been? I'm thinking of building a little SaaS effort on the side and would want to use Haskell for at least the backend, and maybe even the front end with fay.

    >Who's we if you don't mind me asking? I can't say. But nobody you would have heard of, just a small marketing/web dev type place. >How's your experience of snap been In 15 years of web development, this is the closest I have come to being happy with the results of my work. I'm sure part of that is just my experience letting me do things better as time goes on, but a good portion of it is that haskell and snap are less irritating that the other options I've used. I found frameworks in the java/RoR style to be more of a hindrance than a help, so snap suits me well personally. It is more like a library than a framework, it basically just takes care of the "what kind of monad stack do I need here and how do I nest components" problem for you, and then gives you some components you can choose to use or not as you see fit.
