  • Help initializing obelisk project
    1 project | /r/reflexfrp | 1 May 2023
    Hello I remember successfully setting up obelisk a while ago and have gone through the instructions https://github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk and ensured that everything is installed correctly, when I run the install command fro obelisk it says that it's installed but when I run ob init I get an error of command not found, this is an arch machine not nixOS. Any help would me much appreciated.

    If you want to use reflex, the obelisk framework is pretty user friendly. You do have to install nix on your machine, but the ob command handles all the nix interactions for you so you /hopefully/ don't need to know much.

  • Why are haskell applications so obscure?
    7 projects | /r/haskell | 10 Jan 2023
    You can make all those things in haskell, and I do professionally. Frontends (entirely in haskell), native IOS and Android applications, Servers, and Games. In fact the framework Obelisk does most of these all out of the box.

    Thanks for the comment! We can honestly say that Obelisk is far from perfect, but we're continuously improving the project in our daily basics. And that's why we encourage you to start your adventure with the lib anew. If you still miss a guide to routing with Obelisk, please read this doc. Our team would be happy to answer your further question regarding Obelisk; feel free to email us anytime!

    I also had a use case where I needed to extract the nix derivation dependencies of haskell packages: https://github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk/pull/933

    There's also GHCJS, with https://github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk being (probably) the best choice, but personally I found it extremely tedious to set up a dev environment (not a nix guy) and there's also the learning curve of FRP.

    I can't speak to the nicest way, as I haven't actually developed any Android apps with Haskell, but I've been meaning to give Obelisk a try.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing reflex-dom and obelisk you can also consider the following projects:

reflex-animation

reflex-platform - A curated package set and set of tools that let you build Haskell packages so they can run on a variety of platforms. reflex-platform is built on top of the nix package manager.

reflex - Interactive programs without callbacks or side-effects. Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) uses composable events and time-varying values to describe interactive systems as pure functions. Just like other pure functional code, functional reactive code is easier to get right on the first try, maintain, and reuse.

vscode-ghc-simple - Simple GHC (Haskell) integration for VSCode

reflex-dom-contrib

AFSM - Arrowized functional state machines

reflex-native - Framework for writing fully native apps using Reflex, a Functional Reactive Programming library for Haskell.

reflex-fsnotify - Watch files and directories for changes using a functional-reactive interface!

miso - :ramen: A tasty Haskell front-end framework

reactive-banana - Library for functional reactive programming in Haskell.

nix - Nix, the purely functional package manager
