Saw a Tweet about Haskell+Servant being replaced with NodeJS in a project due to compile times - will compile times ever get better?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/haskell

  • semantic-source

    Parsing, analyzing, and comparing source code across many languages

    Most languages’ compilers aren’t powerful enough for tradeoffs to enter the equation. GHC is an exception: the more you ask of the compiler, the more you have to pay in compile times. An example of a PR that gives up concision for compile time speed is here.

  • servant

    Main repository for the servant libraries — DSL for describing, serving, querying, mocking, documenting web applications and more!

    Since nobody has mentioned it yet, there is an outstanding issue about quadratic compile times in Servant.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
