\begin{abstract}
	In this report, we have evaluated a Haskell web framework. We did this by comparing
	two websites, one made in a Haskell web framework called Yesod, and another made
	in a Python web framework in Django. These websites were functionally identical
	and were used to support our evaluation by running various experiments including
	page load speeds and load tests. We also compared the documentation and community
	support available for both frameworks. After evaluating all of our data, we came
	to a conclusion that Yesod is a web framework that is ready to be used in a production
	environment. Yesod is already being used on websites that have millions of users,
	and has outperformed Django in the various tests that we performed. We found that the
	type safety of the Haskell language will catch various bugs that may occur when
	developing a website, but we also acknowledge that some developers prefer the dynamic
	typing of a language like Python. In conclusion, we would recommend Yesod to
	developers who are looking for a new web framework and are either experienced
	in Haskell or are willing to dedicate time to learn the language.
