Thank you -- I will try your spreadsheet package for sure, and when I have more expertise in this area I'd be happy to contribute to the wiki.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 3:00 AM, Henning Thielemann <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:schlepptop@henning-thielemann.de">schlepptop@henning-thielemann.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I think there won't be consensus in many cases, otherwise developers<br>
wouldn't have started to develop alternatives to existing packages.<br>
However if you did the work of comparing some libraries for the same<br>
purpose - how about writing a personal comparison in the HaskellWiki?<br>
<br>
For the special case of CSV parsing I would of course recommend my<br>
spreadsheet package because it parses lazily. :-)<br>
