Minion is Haskell library for developing web applications. It stands between Scotty and Servant
| Scotty | Minion | Servant | |
|---|---|---|---|
| As simple as ABC | Yes | No | No |
| At term level | Yes | Yes | No |
| Typesafe | No | Yes | Yes |
| Introspectable | No | Yes | Yes |
| Generated client | No | No | Yes |
Since Minion defines servers at the term level, it's easier to start and without excess verbosity.
