The Yesod Web Framework is designed around a central tenet: bringing the advantages of the Haskell programming language to the world of web development. As such, compile-time safety, high performance, and simple concurrency are first-class features in the framework, all inherited directly from Haskell. In this talk, we will look at these advantages through actual code and show how Haskell and Yesod can help you produce better applications.

Michael Snoyman is the founder and lead developer of the Yesod Web Framework, a Haskell web framework encouraging type safe web development. His main interests are creating developer-friendly, high performance libraries that minimize bugs. Michael is lead software engineer at FP Complete, where he is working on improving the Haskell ecosystem and creating even more commercially-viable Haskell development tools.
