Thanks! It’s funny because I’ve chosen the absolute most obscure languages and frameworks (other than postgresql). I’m seeing zero jobs available out there for them…but I just can’t bring myself to learn JS, Rust, or any other popular tech stack over Haskell and Purescript…and I’d hate to work in any other stack, TBH.
I’m basically unemployable but happy! ;)
I’m attempting to teach myself full stack web dev using my preferred tooling (Purescript front end using Deku and Hyrule for modernized FRP, Haskell Servant back end talking to a PostgreSQL server with Nix flakes gluing at all together) by building a web app for managing cannabis dispensary inventory.
Lately, I’m finally at the point where I realize/experiment with making the app domain-agnostic. To do that, I’m attempting to extend lambdabuffers to programmatically generate my Types (and instances eventually) so I can make my whole app (front end Types, back end Types, and SQL schema) more generic in order to generate exactly the domain specific app that I currently have.
Here’s the lambdabuffer I wrote to describe my Types (for example): https://github.com/harryprayiv/cheeblr/blob/delete/backend/codegen/Inventory.lbf
And here’s my most active branch at the moment: https://github.com/harryprayiv/cheeblr/tree/delete
I also stopped working on a previous, ambitious project aimed at building a decentralized fantasy betting baseball DApp until some of the tech I’m waiting on (crypto oracles) matures enough: https://github.com/cardanonix/pelotero-engine
I welcome any and all critiques and assistance in either of these 100% FOSS projects.
