Ur is a programming language in the tradition of ML and Haskell, but featuring a significantly richer type system. Ur is functional, pure, statically-typed, and strict. Ur supports a powerful kind of metaprogramming based on row types. Ur/Web is Ur plus a special standard library and associated rules for parsing and optimization. Ur/Web supports construction of dynamic web applications backed by SQL databases. The signature of the standard library is such that well-typed Ur/Web programs "don't go wrong" in a very broad sense. Not only do they not crash during particular page generations, but they also may not: * Suffer from any kinds of code-injection attacks * Return invalid HTML * Contain dead intra-application links * Have mismatches between HTML forms and the fields expected by their handlers * Include client-side code that makes incorrect assumptions about the * "AJAX"-style services that the remote web server provides * Attempt invalid SQL queries * Use improper marshaling or unmarshaling in communication with SQL databases or between browsers and web servers Fix: The included shar How-To-Repeat: extract shar archive and build port Note that when it builds, about 1-5% of the time, mlton will segfault during the build. If this happens, it should build on another attempt. Also, it should build and run on both amd64 and i386, but the FreeBSD port of mlton only supports i386. (apparently there is support for 64-bit in newer versions of mlton, not sure if the current version of mlton in ports is simply marked conservatively or not) The fastcgi (www/fcgi) port is *not* required, because it uses an implementation of the fastcgi protocol, not the library itself.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->scheidell I'll take it.
State Changed From-To: open->feedback unshars, package built just fine, waiting on one question I posted to ports@ and then ready to commit.

(Hence the Ur/Web distribution) It could be considered a general purpose programming language if the C FFI is used, and most of the features of the language are similar to those found in Haskell, ML, or Epigram, which are general purpose. I would say that it belongs in lang/, but since it is intended for writing web applications, I specified www as a side category. Tim
