I'm interested in web frameworks, and considering learning haskell, so I'm happy to hear about yesod. But I really have to question the value of linking to a testimonials page with two testimonials, both from the same company.

Here is useful information: http://www.yesodweb.com/book

It should be pointed out Yesod is still pretty young, still on the order of a year old depending on when you draw the line (0.0.0 is showing on Hackage as Mar 2010, and it's on 0.8.2.1 now, and certainly not viable for most of that time, of course). It's still at the stage where one testimonial is basically expected, as opposed to seeing a five-year old putatively-mature project that can only scrape up one testimonial.

I was less complaining about there being only two testimonials (yesod is very young) than about the fact that two testimonials had shown up on the front page of HN. The testimonials are don't provide much information and are unlikely to convince someone to use the framework. At best, they might get someone to look for some better information (like I did), so why not link to docs/a blog post/etc. ?

What does Massive Tactical do? Information on the Internet seems sparse.

Blake will be doing some blogging at least more about his experience using Yesod. You can subscribe to the Yesod blog (http://www.yesodweb.com/blog) - we will link to his posts when they come out.
