Hi Don, I have a bit more of a followup, actually. You make use of the built in bytestring consumer count, which itself is built upon the foldlChunks function which is only exported in the ByteString.Lazy.Internal. If I want to make my own efficient bytestring consumer, is that what I need to use in order to preserve the inherent laziness of the datastructure?
you can get foldChunks from Data.ByteString.Lazy.Internal, or write your own chunk folder.
Also, I feel a little at a loss for how to make a good bytestring producer for efficiently _writing_ large swaths of data via writeFile. Would it be possible to whip up a small example?
Using unfoldr? Or Data.Binary?
Oh, and lastly, I apologize to both you & Bryan for making you cry. I hope you can forgive my cruelty.
