Your First Haskell Web App With WAI And Warp by Michael Snoyman #FnConf19

Haskell's Web Application Interface (WAI- pronounced ""why"") provides an abstraction between web applications and web servers. This allows many different web frameworks (e.g., Yesod, Spock, and Servant) to share servers like Warp and middlewares. Haskell's web frameworks offer a wide variety of feature sets, type-level and metaprogramming, and intended use cases. And for most use cases, I would recommend using an existing web framework, which will help you avoid common pitfalls and more quickly address common use cases. But not today! In this tutorial, we're going to step through building a functioning web server using just the bare-bones WAI interface and Warp as a server. Familiarity with the basics of Haskell will be a plus, but this will be a talk open to all FP and Haskell skill levels. More details: https://confengine.com/functional-con...
