"One of the safest and best framework so far"

5/5

What do you like best about Yesod?

Yes use Haskell and the type safety provide a safe by default environment.

More than that a lot of thought was given in all aspect of a modern web application.

So there are a lot of optimisations made for you for free. Pre-compiled templates, smart routing, the assets are saved with their hash as name so caching them is optimised.

Also OpenId login is integrated, protection of your resource is also centralised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yesod?

There are very few things I dislike about Yesod. Maybe the recompilation time by `yesod-devel` is not the best, but you could work around this problem by using ghci or maybe `wai-devel` directly.

The framework wasn't though to be API only. In that sense it might feel a bit old fashioned. But I use it mainly to code REST API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Yesod:

If you need a fast, reliable, distributed and _safe_ web framework. Then Yesod is the best I know to achieve all of this.

For example, it consider protecting you against, XSS and SQL injection at compile time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yesod solving and how is that benefiting you?

I made two different products with yesod.

- A tool to analyse and react to my 404 errors on my personal blog.

- A reddit clone

And many little personal projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
