Hi Haskell people, I've been snooping through various mailing lists and the current Haskell implementation of regular expressions and I was wondering if there has been a discussion about implementing regex parsing with derivatives. If so, I haven't seen it. If not, I'd like to have a discussion about it -- if for no other reason than to decide whether I should implement it as a library, or (to attempt to implement it) as a core feature. For those of you who don't know, recent work by Might and Daraishttp://arxiv.org/abs/1010.5023indicates that parsing CFGs can be done better ( *i.e.*, significantly faster) than more "traditional" approacheshttp://swtch.com/%7Ersc/regexp/regexp1.html. Might's presenting at ICFP later in September about it. I guess the first thing I should ask is, which mailing list is actually the right place to field this inquiry. I considered dropping it in the main haskell list, but wasn't sure how people would respond. -- Alex
