+1 to promoting `readMaybe`.
HLint could replace `read` by `fromMaybe undefined . readMaybe`. Partiality can be debugged better when it is in the application, rather than in the library.

If it doesn't give a call stack, we can fix that. While I avoid using it myself, and I think it's much better to use (at least) Text.readMaybe, I'm not convinced that the breakage to existing educational material is worth the benefit of actually removing it.
One can use HLint to flag uses of 'read'. _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list Libraries@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libraries
