  • Haskell ecosystem questions.

    3. https://hackage.haskell.org is the primary place
  • Why are haskell applications so obscure?
    7 projects | /r/haskell | 10 Jan 2023
    I used to see pandoc described as a "virus that makes people want to install Haskell", but I think someone must've figured out binary distribution.
  • Comparing ZIO to Haskell effects libraries like Polysemy?
    3 projects | /r/scala | 25 Aug 2022
    The closest analogue to ZIO is probably the RIO monad + Has* type classes from https://hackage.haskell.org . /package/rio . (But ZIO is a bit richer with the typed error channel.)
  • Just released: cabal 3.8.1.0

    Not yet, first hackage-server has to be updated to Cabal-3.8.1.0, see this hackage-server ticket
  • What's the story with organizing a cental python docs hub?
    3 projects | /r/Python | 5 Aug 2022
    So I was working on this tool pysearch.com for doing deep semantic searches of python docs by program analysis inferred functionality when I noticed that every library's docs seem to be in a different format hosted in a different source. This would be fine if there was also a standard format hub for all the libraries on pypi or something, but it looks like even readthedocs doesn't contain everything. I find this a bit odd given the existence of tools like pydoc for doing something like this locally. Originally, I was hoping to find something like hackage for haskell, as I was hoping to build a natural language version of hoogle. In the meantime I've gotten pysearch to work by setting up custom rules for each doc, but this is kinda unsustainable.

  • Haskell compiled onto LLVM increase performance?
    4 projects | /r/haskell | 2 Nov 2021
    The other source of haskell documentation is hackage, which features both libraries and higher-level GHC modules. Using hoogle (!hoogle or !hgl in DDG), you can search these docs by module name, function name, or even type signature.
  • At a crossroads
    4 projects | /r/haskell | 24 Aug 2021
    Questions re. library support are best found by searching Hackage. A cursory glance indicates ‘yes’ to both, though I’ve never used them. Generally, there is a library to do what you want, though given the Haskell community’s relatively small size and finite time, it might not be as up-to-date as you like. That, of course, is a problem that you can fix and contribute upstream, and the Haskell build tools have good support for using your own fork of a given library.
