Re: [Haskell-cafe] why does Data.Text.Lazy.IO.readFile return the internal type Data.Text.Lazy.Internal.Text, when Data.Text.IO.readFile returns plain IO Data.Text.Text?

why does the lazy version use the internal type, whereas the strict version of Text IO just using plain Data.Text type?

That's just ghci playing display games with you, based on the names under which you imported the modules. There are two Text types, strict and lazy, so the lazy IO module returns a lazy Text, while the strict ... well, you get it.
