Parsec isn't as maintained as Megaparsec https://mrkkrp.github.io/megaparsec/.
I recommend checking out the tutorials here https://mrkkrp.github.io/megaparsec/tutorials.html.
So under the advice to use megaparsec instead of parsec, I tried the examples here: https://mrkkrp.github.io/megaparsec/tutorials/fun-with-the-recovery-feature.... Got a page full of errors starting: fpl.hs:42:20: Not in scope: ‘<$>’ … Perhaps you meant one of these: On a hunch I changed import Control.Applicative (empty) to import Control.Applicative and then it started working. I can only expect that if megaparsec's own official tutorials are thus out of sync with current haskell, then parsec's will be even more so. Also I find no megaparsec on hoogle/hayoo So how does one go about handling the dilemma: - megaparsec : in development but undocumented on hayoo/hoohle - parsec : documented but bitrotten What/how do haskell pros go about handling such Thanks Rusi
