  To support this with an example, executable with pinned dependencies would be https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/blob/master/waspc/package.yaml , while a library with loose dependencies would be https://github.com/wasp-lang/strong-path/blob/master/package.yaml .

• Wasp: WASM Programming Language

  Seems there’s a name collision, as I thought of this project when I read “Wasp programming language”: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp

• Wasp-Lang (YC W21) Is Hiring Founding Engineer
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Sep 2021

  Hi HN,

  I'm Matija, founder of Wasp-lang (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp). We're building a declarative language that makes it easy to build full-stack web apps while still using popular tools such as React & Node.js.

  We're a currently a team of two - twin brothers and ex-Google/Palantir engineers who are looking for first engineers to join the team. After graduating from YC we raised our first round ($1.6M) from several US & EU deep tech funds and early engineers from Facebook, Twitter and Airbnb.

  Wasp is currently in Alpha - over 250+ projects have been created and first apps have been deployed to production. We have plan to move to Beta in the next 6 months.

  We are looking for a well rounded engineer who will form the engineering culture together with us and work on all aspects of the product - DSL compiler (in Haskell) and generated target code (currently React & Node.js).

  We're based in Europe (Zagreb, Croatia) but are open to remote.

  For more details about the role, take a look here: https://www.notion.so/wasp-lang/Founding-Engineer-at-Wasp-88...

  If this sounds interesting, please reach out matija [at] wasp-lang [dot] com.

• How to define module API toward other modules, taking into account submodules?
  1 project | reddit.com/r/haskell | 17 Sep 2021

  Btw if it helps, here is the specific codebase that forced me to start thinking about this: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/tree/master/waspc/src . Right now I am working on https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/pull/300, and there is quite some structure being introduced. I care about "Analyzer.Evaluator.Evaluation" module hinding its internals. I also care about "Analyzer.Evaluator" hiding its internals, and I also care about "Analyzer" hiding its internals. Same goes for "Analyzer.Evaluator.TH" and its substructure, and so on. For now the best solution I see is throwing in a lot of "Internal"s there, which I don't particularly love because it is not enforced + updating the name of the module is tedious (rename file, rename all occurences, and also now all names are getting pretty long -> e.g. Analyzer.Evaluator.Evaluation.TypedExpr.Combinators now becomes Analyzer.Evaluator.Internal.Evaluation.Internal.TypedExpr.Combinators).

  Wasp-lang combines React routing and the Prisma schema together in a different way.

• Final year University project domain-specific language for GUI applications

  I am working on a similar project (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp) and I find it an interesting challenge to test that generated code is working correctly, that it is correctly generated.

  Thanks u/ThePyroEagle, I think all of these are sensible advice!! Our JS generation is pretty primitive right now, we are using mustache templates and there is very little semantic understanding of it in our Haskell code. I think first step will be doing some annotating, as you said, which means we add some extra info on them and then we can check that certain relations hold, and next step will be adding intermediary representation. Only possibly useful think I can say about templating is that we are using mustache templates right now and what is missing is a way to specify in types, for each template, what are the inputs it takes. Right now they just take any types / JSON and that is too loose. So next step will be using some better templating mechanism. I wrote a bit more about it here: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/124 .

• Test suite using external file

  We are doing exactly the same (hspec, file with a dsl, parser, stack) in our project, you can check it out here: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/blob/master/waspc/test/Parser/ParserTest.hs .

  If you are into more full-stack solution, you might be interested project I am working on https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp -> it takes the whole idea of "web dev should be simpler" to a new level.
