A JSON parser in Haskell, what a day to have eyes
?
Haskell's incredibly good for writing parsers.
But oh boy is it difficult. We started with Haskell in the first semester CS and it was a pain. Kudos to anyone seriously developing in Haskell.
Eh, it's just different. Other languages are hard in other ways. Haskell's at least have very good reason behind them.
I write Haskell professionally and and am teaching to people without any experience, and it's really no different than anything else. Though I will say that my experience is that university professors are often pretty clueless about the language and don't teach it well.
I think it's the paradigm change. Most people including myself learnt some kind of procedural language in school, shifting towards functional thinking is just very difficult. But of course that's a skill a computer scientist must have and one of the reasons I didn't graduate.
If you are writing a parser in haskell just use Happy and get it over with
It's a parser for json. Import Aeson and derive one for your custom type in a single line!
