Hi Alexy,

Now I'm reading a
Haskell book which states the same.  Is there a more efficient Haskell
string-handling method?  Which functional language is the most
suitable for text processing?

There are the Data.ByteString things, which are great, and have much
less overhead.

But remember that Haskell is lazy. If you are thinking "well I have to
process a 50Mb file", remember that Haskell will lazily read and
process this file, which substantially reduces the memory requirements
so only a small portion will ever be in memory at a time.

Thanks

Neil
