Happy to answer any questions on IHP :)
For example, with Django, there are a ton of packages that integrate well with things like Models, the Forms subsystem, Middleware, Template rendering, Cache backends, etc.
Is there a similar ecosystem with IHP? Are the extension points there in the framework to allow those sorts of packages to integrate seamlessly?
My past experience with Haskell web frameworks was that there weren't many packages for common things, and that when there were they took quite a bit of integration work to use nicely.
IHP also comes with a lot of things you'd typically use external packages for (e.g. Auth).
In general the IHP experience is very different from other Haskell web frameworks and much more batteries included, so a lot of apps typically don't need any external packages at all.
