I'm not sure that anyone's using it. I originally found it on John Meacham's web site and offered to push it to Hackage. It hasn't been touched since. I once decided to sit down and modernize it, but realized I don't actually understand any of the laziness tricks in it.

Anybody's welcome to pick it up and take it to the cleaners!

It has been a while since I looked at frisby. I do remember that I had several issues with it and found that the code was pretty hard to understand, due to numerous unsafe optimization hacks. I'd be glad if someone cleaned that up, so that it becomes easier to fix errors but I guess that would be a piece of work, probably amounting to a re-write of sorts. (To be clear, none of this is Chris' fault, of course, he just updated cabal stuff.)

I suppose the first order of business would then be to write a test and benchmark suite, to make sure that the modifications don't break something. Mind you, there are no dependencies for the library (apart from acme-everything of course). Is anybody using it privately?
