Haste: Full-Stack Haskell for Non-PhD Candidates
summary
Haste compiles Haskell to JavaScript and demonstrates concrete, usable features: DOM manipulation, HTML5 canvas animation, localStorage, XHR, and type-safe RPC between client and server. Demos compile with haste boot and haste inst, show a spinning cat, a working localStorage save/load, a TodoMVC prototype and a Breakout built with Netwire, and use ffi bidirectional bindings to call and export JS. Testing notes warn that GHC integers differ from JS numbers so pure tests may hide runtime overflows.
