Hi Haskell Beginners,<div><br></div><div>I am writing a fairly simple app in haskell that will be used to support some Ruby on Rails apps at work. The gist of it is that it takes a JSON request and produces a JSON response. I've figured that strapping it to a web server will be the easiest way to allow our Rails apps to talk to it without worrying about IPC and all of that. I looked at yesod and snap and both seemed to be too much for what I'm asking. It seems to me that the best approach would be to write up an WAI interface, strap it to a Warp server and call it a day.</div>

We've been using FastCGI for two fairly large JSON services (11K lines) for a year with no problems. Warp and Snap are also sufficient. Is speed a big concern? Otherwise the iterators will be a bit pointless. I'm with you on forgeting about worrying about the server for this type of service and calling it a day.</div>
