There is this tutorial: http://adit.io/posts/2013-04-15-making-a-website-with-haskel...

Although it uses virthualenv instead of a cabal sandbox.

I read that article a few weeks ago in order to get a basic personal site server running on Heroku. I used a standard cabal setup and updated a few things.

end result here, which I think should serve as a good starter point for developing with Scotty:

For Heroku builds I used the following excellent buildpack

+1 thanks! Nice example. Scotty is appealing to me because it has a Sinatra like feel to it.

for a true beginner, it starts with an outdated cabal definition for virthualenv/hsenv that has specific old versions. nobody will be able to just copy and paste trhu the tutorial.

but it seems well written if you can get past that point. Most beginners won't though.

Post author here. I just updated the post to use cabal sandboxes.
