It is nice to be so categorical. But not all people would dare... Already source parsers in Haskell are not so straightforward. Monadic are very nice. People teach compilation in such a way, (I did it myself but I didn't care about efficiency). Swierstra et al. did a great job, but the result is not easy to master. So, in general, although I am on your side concerning the usage of Haskell, I must say that I hate the philosophy Eine Kirche, eine Sprache... If the context - as here - is often very stateful, we, the True Functional Believers have no chance to convince people to use functional languages, if they are used to other style of programming. That's why I was surprised that somebody got surprised. There is no need to convince people reading this list. Try to convince others...

[Haskell-cafe] haskell parser for java bytecode?
I'm interested in using haskell to do static analysis of java bytecode. To my surprise, I wasn't able to find any existing haskell libraries for parsing java .class files. Is anyone aware of such a library? I've already started writing my own implementation, which I intend to make available as a reusable library once it's ready, but if someone else has already done the work then I'd love to avoid having to repeat it.

G'day all. Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Now I am surprised. Why for goodness' sake, people interested in Haskell *should* worry about parsing of Java bytecode chunks? Upgrading legacy code, of course.
