Is it possible to have backend written in Haskell and frontend with Javascript?

Question

currently I'm working on this project (https://github.com/Giegling/addressbook) and for the backend I use Node.js with Express framework, for the frontend Angularjs. Is it possible to "translate" the backend to Haskell without touching the frontend? If it's possible, which framework should I use? (Yesod, scotty...)

Thanks

Answer 1

Your server simply exposes a HTTP API to your angular app. You can implement that functionality in any web framework (or even without a framework) in pretty much any language.

Yesod is probably the most popular and well documented Haskell framework (personal opinion), so I guess you can start with that.
