Some of my recent side projects (Haskell, Python, Elm, Webgl) and articles can be seen at http://sras.me. Source code is available from my public profile at https://bitbucket.org/sras.

Apart from that, I have the following Haskell related works that is in progress.

• https://hackage.haskell.org/package/elminator- Is a tool to generate Elm (0.18 & 0.19) code from Haskell types that define types and encoders/decoders in Elm. Attempts to solve issues/short comings with the currently availble packages in the same space.

• https://github.com/sras/yaar- Is a webframework that tries to implement an interface similar to Haskell's Servant framework for developing type safe web interfaces. It is a completely different implementation that does not borrow code from Servant framework.

• https://bitbucket.org/sras/repltalk - Is a python script that can wrap REPLs (GHCI integration included) and expose a language server to provide integration with various editors via plugins.
