[Haskell-cafe] ANN: text 0.5, a major revision of the Unicode text library

Get it while it's fresh on Hackage, folks! Details of the changes here: http://bit.ly/1u4UOT ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANN: text 0.5, a major revision of the Unicode text library

Sweet! What are the chances of seeing a, instance Data Text, some day? text would be a great type to use with Happstack, because it is far more memory efficient than String. But it is difficult to do that with out a instance of Data. For the time being, I have been hacking it with: insta

Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANN: text 0.5, a major revision of the Unicode text library

Based on section 5.2 of this paper: http://www.cs.vu.nl/boilerplate/gmap2.pdf I wonder if the Data instance I provided is the best possible option with out modifying SYB. And that the optimal solution would be to extend ConstrRep to support Text as a primitive: data ConstrRep = AlgConstr C

oops, for the sake of completeness you also need: textType = mkStringType "Data.Text" - jeremy On Oct 9, 2009, at 10:33 AM, Jeremy Shaw wrote: Sweet! What are the chances of seeing a, instance Data Text, some day? text would be a great type to use with Happstack, because it is far more m
