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.
Haskell Platform lost its major purpose since cabal v2-style stopped breaking package databases on upgrades and since ghcup started supporting all three major OSes. See https://github.com/haskell-infra/www.haskell.org/issues/147 for the decision to redirect the link.
Preinstalling a set of common libraries in the GHC global package database. Unfortunately, Using the GHC global package database is now considered a bit of an anti-pattern, since again different projects often need different versions of things. Also unfortunately, the Haskell Platform never got large enough to really cover most common needs, so you needed to install more libraries anyway. Both cabal and stack are much better at setting up project-local package databases for each project. Managing the ghci experience is a place where the Haskell Platform was a bit ahead of current practice, but there's https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6481 to refine this use case.
