Hi everybody,
I was doing an assignment in Java for my university concerning a program
that reads, modifies and writes CSV files, when I suddenly had the idea
of implementing parts of this in Haskell for fun.
When I finished the Haskell programm, I was disappointed by the performance:
To parse a 200k lines CSV file, insert a line (yes I know i could insert
a line without parsing the file, that's just an example) at pos. 199999
and write the file again, the Java program takes 1.1 seconds while the
Haskell program takes 12.5 seconds.
I have read Don's blog post but am unsure how to implement his tips into
my program, as I am still kind of a Haskell beginner.
The source code (40 lines incl. comments and empty lines) and the 200k
CSV file I used for testing and a smaller CSV file demonstrating the
special easy-to-parse CSV syntax are available on my ftp server,
ftp://baah.servegame.org/public/haskell
The call syntax is
<program> <csv file> <line to insert>
e.g.
main lang.csv "test","this","line"
I haven't posted the source code here directly because I thought it
might be too long.
If someone here finds the time to look at my code and give me some
hints, that would really be nice.
Regards
Philip
