Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

  • Haskell in Production: Standard Chartered
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 May 2023
    That's what it's best for, but personally I use it for everything. If I ever get into low-level code I'll probably use Rust though.

    You can confirm that parsers/tokenizers is ranked "best in class" here though:

  • Recommendations for well informed, up-to-date guide to Haskell backend engineering
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 11 Mar 2023
    Note that this is ported from here: https://github.com/Gabriella439/post-rfc/blob/main/sotu.md which comes with more exposition.
  • I want to learn Haskell, but...

    State of the Haskell Ecosystem
  • Why are haskell applications so obscure?
    7 projects | /r/haskell | 10 Jan 2023
    According to State of the Haskell ecosystem, Haskell is THE language of choice for implementing compilers, and THE language of choice for writing parsers. Thus, it is not surprising to see more Haskell projects from those particular categories than from other categories.
  • base case
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 19 Dec 2022
    This is great for understanding what libraries to use in the Haskell ecosystem: https://github.com/Gabriella439/post-rfc/blob/main/sotu.md
  • Haskell for beginners
    3 projects | /r/haskell | 30 Nov 2022
    In particular, I got comfortable reading hackage documentation to understand quickly how to use libraries (aeson, megaparsec, mtl, pipes, etc), got comfortable with the ecosystem (this helped: https://github.com/Gabriella439/post-rfc/blob/main/sotu.md), got comfortable with the main language idioms and features (https://smunix.github.io/dev.stephendiehl.com/hask/tutorial.pdf) and got comfortable with simple things that for some reason had confused me before (case, \case, let).
  • What can I do in Haskell? UwU
    8 projects | /r/haskell | 16 Nov 2022
  • Haskell for Artificial Intelligence?
    6 projects | /r/haskell | 30 May 2022
    With that being said, Python is without a doubt the best option, and I'd also be very interested to read the articles you found that say that Python is not a good choice because it's been the industry standard for a long time now. Data science and machine learning are one of the areas where the Haskell ecosystem is not as strong as other languages, but libraries and tools do exist. There's a great list of Haskell resources by domain here, and as you can see, there are Haskell bindings to tensorflow and pytorch, along with other libraries that support common data science programming.
  • Haskell - Important Libraries
    11 projects | /r/haskell | 24 Mar 2022
    State of the Haskell Ecosystem lists libraries for many of its domains.
  • What are the current challenges in Numerical Programming for Haskell?
    4 projects | /r/haskell | 15 Mar 2022
    Recently saw this repo that shows the state of Haskell in a lot of programming applications. It classifies it as Immature for Numerical Programming; I would like to know what are the challenges in it.

  • Getting Amazonka S3 to work with localstack
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 9 Dec 2023
    This is perhaps not as obvious as it could be. A penny for your thoughts? https://github.com/brendanhay/amazonka/issues/968
  • stack
    7 projects | /r/haskell | 17 Jul 2022
    Stack does not clone a copy of a git package for each of a user's projects that uses the package but cabal does. This can be a deal-breaker for cabal when using huge git projects like https://github.com/brendanhay/amazonka that can take forever to git clone. If you have a test/CI setup for a project that uses such packages, cabal's lack of caching can also cause huge delays and more opportunities for failure (from network errors or timeouts). From the proceedings of past issues, I don't think cabal devs are interested in addressing this use case. https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5586
  • Amazonka 2.0.0-rc1 is ready for testing

  • Haskell ghost knowledge; difficult to access, not written down
    13 projects | /r/haskell | 24 Jan 2021
    amazonka is a bit of a minefield despite being listed as the only AWS library by SOTU
