Hydo: yes, our app was built on top of Happstack (and quite some other packages). However, we didn’t use too much of Happstacks features: we built our own generic database library, we used our own url-routing system and we used formlets for generating and parsing forms.

“We now have two commercial websites running on Haskell”

Did you use a framework, and if so, which?

Brian,

That’s right! We’re actually pretty excited we can do these things with Haskell were you’d expect Django, Rails, etc. :) And that’s without much of a framework, even. (Building large applications certainly isn’t as easy as with the aforementioned frameworks at this point, but we’re working on it ;)

Add Haskell’s powerful typechecking covering a lot of the critical things you need to check (also see one of our previous posts: On Unit Testing and Type Checking.) and you have a pretty cool toolset, in our humble opinion.

It would be nice if this post had more details about the project(s) beyond the libraries being used, especially for us non-Haskell users.

Right now you can substitute Haskell using either Django, Rails, or some other framework/language in your post.
