haskell-handbook VS wasp

All together that was a thoughtful and fair write up, thanks for that! I think you are spot on regarding monad transformers. Testing story is very good, the only part that I found harder then I would like it to be is testing IO code - there are some solutions that help but still, it is a bit surprisingly complex. And Template Haskell - it is not as hard as it sounds! Can be quite powerful without super deep knowledge. Btw here is short "cheat sheet" for Template Haskell that I wrote as notes for myself and others in the company: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/template-haskell.md .

haskell-handbook

I am trying to do something similar with https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook, but much less ambitious - it is mostly there for me and my colleagues, not as a general guide, and is for intermediate level, not beginners, also has no order, just topics. But what I do is create issues with quick drafts and then fill them in when I have time and others can also add to it.

Wrote some popular tutorials on Haskell concepts, like https://wasp-lang.dev/blog/2021/09/01/haskell-forall-tutorial, and also are maintaining haskell handbook (still in infancy): https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook .

I actually wrote a short text about how functions behave as Functor, Applicative or Monad: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/function-as-functor-applicative-monad.md .

Recently I realized I have no idea how should I define version bounds for my library and I got pretty confused before I finally figured out the reasoning behind it (thanks to r/haskell and Adam Bergmark from Stackage), so I thought I would capture that reasoning in a short article: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/dependencies-version-bounds.md .

As a result I decided to write a small article that gives overview of Cabal and Stack are and also compares them, based on what I learned: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/cabal-and-stack.md .

First off, Wasp is a full-stack React, NodeJS, and Prisma framework with superpowers. It just crossed 10,000 stars on GitHub, and it has been used to create over 50,000 projects.

When building AI Blog Articles, I decided to get started as fast as possible. So I looked for a free boilerplate and stumbled upon Open SaaS, which used YC-backed Wasp. It is a full-stack React + NodeJS + Prisma that takes 8 hours to get started with.

Exactly. Wasp, https://wasp-lang.dev, is the only framework in the React/Node/Prisma space that's taking this opinionated approach to full-stack development.

For example, you get full-stack auth by just adding this to your config file:

`auth.methods: { email: {}, google: {} }`

Then you on-the-fly Auth UI components and all the necessary hooks

If you already have some sort of foundation in programming, use AI and some great abstractions/frameworks to get things done even faster. For example, instead of creating everything from the ground up (and probably suffering on little things along the way) you can skip repeating yourself a ton of times by using Wasp, which is a great React/Node full-stack framework that takes care of managing the boilerplate side of programming for you. 🤯

Aider is one of my favorite AI agents, especially because it can work with existing codebases. We've seen a lot of good results from folks who used it with Wasp (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp) - a full-stack web framework I'm working on.

For those who want the tool to have full control over their stack simply and easily, look no further! Wasp is an opinionated full-stack framework that leverages its compiler for a fast and easy way to create a database, backend, and frontend for your app. It uses React, Node.js, and Prisma, which are some of the most well-known tools that full-stack web developers are using.

Although our main product is Wasp, a full-stack framework on top of React & Node.js, here’s what we launched so far:
