Servant (http://haskell-servant.github.io/) is a recent library for writing web applications with a quite novel approach: users describe web APIs with a type-level DSL. The library then uses that description, which can be inspected and transformed for great good to: - provide very strong type safety guarantees on your request handlers, - derive Haskell or Javascript functions to query the aforementionned API, - automatically generate the API documentation, - overall make the code as boilerplate-free as possible, by having all the important information about your API in the same place. This very hands-on talk hopes to demonstrate what the every day web application developer can get out of servant as-is but also how one can extend the (unopinionated) library in every possible direction to get an opinionated, tailor-made web framework.
