Genuine question: how do you all use Haskell IRL?

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

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • monpad

    A fully-customisable web-based gamepad, designed to be used from smartphones.

  • Basically everything - it's a general purpose language after all! Creating Spotify playlists, polling my local tennis courts' website to see when spaces become available, home automation stuff like turning lights and plugs off under certain conditions. Today I wrote a 20-line-or-so program to track my friend's progress in a marathon. More substantially, over lockdown I built a tool for using phones as game controllers, and it's been my primary language at work for the past five years, across two very different jobs.

  • pandoc

    Universal markup converter

  • I'm freelancing as a pandoc consultant, and I regularly get to fix bugs and to extend pandoc with additional functionality. My proudest work is the Lua subsystem, which is now used heavily, e.g. in Quarto.

  • 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.

  • defect-process

    Defect Process (2d hack n' slash game) full source code

  • And the full code (w/o assets) is available too https://github.com/incoherentsoftware/defect-process

  • xmonad

    The core of xmonad, a small but functional ICCCM-compliant tiling window manager

  • Daily, because xmonad

  • cassava

    A CSV parsing and encoding library optimized for ease of use and high performance

  • I use it for everything: tracking personal finance and tax data (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger), small scripts to gather online information that I want to track (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cassava), sending alerts to my mobile device, etc...there's too much to list.

  • Guava

    Google core libraries for Java

  • The guava library of Java has some of these data structures implemented: https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/ImmutableCollectionsExplained , but implementations of the above book in many languages can be found on github (say, this one for Haskell: https://github.com/aistrate/Okasaki )

  • Okasaki

    Code from the book "Purely Functional Data Structures" by Chris Okasaki (both original and my own solutions to the exercises, in Haskell)

  • The guava library of Java has some of these data structures implemented: https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/ImmutableCollectionsExplained , but implementations of the above book in many languages can be found on github (say, this one for Haskell: https://github.com/aistrate/Okasaki )

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
