Wanted libraries
This page provides a list of missing and found libraries for solving common real world programmer tasks.
If you think there should be a library for some common task, add it to this page, and someone may well step up and write it. If you know of a library to solve an open problem domain, link to it.
The first place to look is the full libraries list.
Missing libraries (by problem domain)
Add any common problem areas for which libraries are missing.
Could be improved
Problems with existing solutions, that could be improved.
- Binary serialisation support should be ported to bytestring, and added to the extralibs bundle
- Simple process forking/popen, of type
String -> IO String, is needed (the implementation should be in base)
If you have code that improves on something in the base libraries, you might consider submitting it to the libraries process, so it can appear in the standard libraries.
