Presentation: "Yesod: a functional, type-safe web framework"
Time:
Wednesday 12:05 - 13:05
Location:
City
Abstract:
The Yesod web framework is based on Haskell, a strongly
typed, purely functional language. It lets developers use traditional
MVC patterns, but takes advantage of its Haskell roots, using strong
typing to get rid of entire classes of bugs and security holes,
thereby reducing the need for unit tests. Yesod also leverages
Haskell's performance strengths - its default server, Warp, can handle
more requests per second than any other web application server.
