But Edward Kmett is not the author of the Reddit thread! You make it sound like it's been staged to showcase his stuff. He can certainly point to the (awesome) libraries he has built in answer. The original question was
Besides features of the haskell language itself, I was wondering if there were any libraries in haskell that stood out as being unique--not a sinatra-like web interface for example. Something like erlang's mnesia or rails for ruby, maybe, or hazelcast for java or any frameworks (for web programming or whatever), that were truly a step above comparable libraries or don't even have a non-Haskell equivalent. Something that once you use it, you hate not using it in other projects.
