Custom Haskell handlers for Nginx

This is rather a mature project. It began out of curiosity: I wanted to test if Haskell FFI was powerful and expressive enough to interconnect C and Haskell code flawlessly. Particularly, if C strings generated inside Nginx can be shared within Haskell code and what must be done to respect their lifetimes etc. Recently, I released version 3.2.0 with revamped README (with a lot of examples) and a new approach to building Haskell handlers using the modernized cabal v2-build for dependencies.

In plain words

Custom Haskell handlers for Nginx allows developers to write request handlers for the Nginx web server using Haskell. The project explores the capabilities of Haskell's foreign function interface to safely integrate C and Haskell code, including managing C string lifetimes within Haskell. Version 3.2.0 features improved documentation with examples and modernized build support through cabal v2-build.

    Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
