rapid: Rapid prototyping with GHCi: hot reloading of running components and reload-surviving values

[ bsd3, development, library ] [ Propose Tags ]

This package provides a rapid prototyping suite for GHCi that can be used standalone or integrated into editors. You can hot-reload individual running components as you make changes to their code. It is designed to shorten the development cycle during the development of long-running programs like servers, web applications and interactive user interfaces.

It can also be used in the context of batch-style programs: Keep resources that are expensive to create in memory and reuse them across module reloads instead of reloading/recomputing them after every code change.

Technically this package is a safe and convenient wrapper around foreign-store.

Readme for rapid-0.1.3

[back to package description]

Rapid

This is a helper library for rapid prototyping in GHCi sessions. It provides hot-reloadable background threads as well as values that can be reused across module reloads (to save initialisation time). Main use cases include the development of long-running applications, especially those with multiple separable units: servers, web applications, interactive user interfaces, etc.

A tutorial-style introduction is contained within the Rapid module.
