How is it more useful than Yesod (http://www.yesodweb.com/ http://www.yesodweb.com/) and other existing web app frameworks in Haskell?

- gamegoblin 13y agoPresumably because you can write in-browser apps that you would typically write in JS, in Haskell. AFAIK Yesod is just another web framework a la rails, django, etc.

- cies 13y agoYesod does not compile Haskell to JS. It works well with Fay though (another way to compile Haskell to JS). Haste is not "more useful"; but it's approach is quite different. Read my other comment on this page for more info on the differences.
- cordite 13y agoThere have been attempts to integrate fay[0] (a similar attempt of Haskell -> JS like Haste) with yesod, but it hasn't gained much traction. Yesod is server side, it has Julius, but that's just JS with safe inserts from the outside. [0]: http://www.yesodweb.com/blog/2012/10/yesod-fay-js http://www.yesodweb.com/blog/2012/10/yesod-fay-js
