Re: [Haskell-cafe] Lazy read

Honestly, don't use read. It's icky.

Check out ReadP or parsec, they are far superior in general. I think there was a suggestion of replacing Read with ReadP?

The whole point is not about writing a parser, its about having a parser written for me with deriving Read - unfortunately their is no deriving LazyRead or deriving Parsec etc. Thanks Neil
