Iris-0.1.0.0 — a Haskell CLI framework

Show and Tell
#1

I would like to introduce the second release of Iris — a Haskell CLI framework that supports CLI Guidelines.

There were lots of changes since the initial release last year, so now would be a perfect time to try Iris!

The most significant improvements are:

  • A complete tutorial about writing CLI apps in Haskell with Iris
  • Lots of Haddock improvements
  • Automatic detection of terminal colouring support

See CHANGELOG for more details.

I created Iris with the initial goal to provide mentorship to beginners in Haskell, FP, and Open-Source. And, as you can notice, most of the improvements were made by outside contributors. If you would like to contribute something to Iris, check out beginner-friendly issues!

It takes a lot of effort and patience to help others, but in the end, I hope my guidance was helpful to them :hugs:

P.S. To add a few more positive news, today is also my 29th birthday :partying_face::birthday: Your best gift to me would be to support my Haskell Open-Source work via GitHub Sponsorship. Or you can just star Iris on GitHub, and this would encourage me to continue doing more Haskell OSS!

I had a very dubious CLI app I did some time ago and will try to rewrite it with Iris and see how it goes, thanks very much for creating it! :raised_hands:

I would love to hear about your experience! There’s lots of work in Iris on improving it and providing more features :slightly_smiling_face:

I know that “iris” is of course a widely used term, but at least the part of the Haskell community that also deals with program verification may be confused by the name clash with https://iris-project.org/. Up to you what, if anything, to do about this :slight_smile:

I haven’t heard about Iris, but the project looks cool :white_flower:

I generally don’t think that name clashing is a problem, so I’m not going to do anything about that. I believe, people who open the description of my project can understand whether it’s a program verification framework they’re looking for or not :relieved:
