Why? What’s the point? Do we need another web framework? Are Haskell programmers spending too much time writing boilerplate for their web apps?

If this just a fun project then cool. I hoped the author learned something. I hope even more that they share what they learned.

Good point. Here’s a different angle. I don’t see it, that the Haskell community needs another web framework. However, the niche that Rails fills, could benefit from purity and type safety; which Haskell provides.
And Rails was very easy to get started with. Not so much for Yesod. IHP makes a big difference in this area.

Radical type safety for the masses!
