Fast string parsing #16

Closed paf31 closed 8 years ago

Thimoteus commented 8 years ago

Are there any existing benchmarks to compare against?

Also, I'll just leave this here: https://github.com/paf31/purescript-parser-generator

I'd just like something faster than purescript-parsing, which can be quite slow. I'd be happy to accept a simpler API to get it. And yes, that's the sort of approach I was experimenting with. It's pretty decent, and I think there is some promise there if someone wants to pick it up.

This seems like a possible "killer app" for PureScript.
