scanner VS parsec

Actually that was my first thought to achieve my end goal. Unfortunately I'm using an old scanner (CanoScan Lide 90) that isn't supported by any working drivers. The only way I got it to work was to use "Scanner" - https://github.com/simon-knuth/scanner , the downside was for some odd reason, it only supports scanning to a maximum of 600 dpi.

example of scanner application: https://github.com/simon-knuth/scanner

The Scan app physically does not work on my computer (crashes on launch, every time), so I've found "Scanner" as a great alternative. It looks quite nice and more importantly, it does not crash on launch.

Writing Haskell programs that rely on third-party packages is still an issue when it’s a not actively maintained package. They get out of date with the base library (Haskell’s standard library), and you might see yourself in a situation where you need to downgrade to an older version. This is not exclusive to Haskell, but it happens more often than I’d like to assume. However, if you only rely on known well-maintained libraries/frameworks such as Aeson, Squeleto, Yesod, and Parsec, to name a few, it’s unlikely you will face troubles at all, you just need to be more mindful of what you add as a dependency. There’s stackage.org now, a repository that works with Stack, providing a set of packages that are proven to work well together and help us to have reproducible builds in a more manageable way—not the solution for all the cases but it’s good to have it as an option.

The Parsec library for Haskell uses combinators, and there are a few good resources around the internet which explore it, if you know Haskell.

Parse the expression using parsec library ( if you're unfamiliar with it please check out https://hackage.haskell.org/package/parsec) it's a strong library for parer combinators. Once you parse the expression u need to define and sum up the similar terms. Check this example out - https://fpunfold.com/2020/05/18/making-a-calculator-in-haskell-with-parsec.html

Konbini is a functional parser combinator library inspired by Haskell parsing libraries like Parsec. It's (hopefully) fairly easy to use, and is about as performant as the better-parse library. In fact, it's quite similar to better-parse in many aspects. The main difference is in how parsers are composed. Where better-parse prefers operators and infix functions, Konbini instead uses plain functions.

Hi everyone, I'm learning F# and currently trying to do a Parsec-like CE, just to get comfortable with computation expressions.

good libraries for parsing: parsec, attoparsec etc.

Thank you! When I read the title I only knew about https://hackage.haskell.org/package/parsec, and for a moment I was very confused…

The more "idiomatic" way would be to use a parser library, e.g. parsec, attoparsec, or megaparsec. But even then I think it would be a lot easier to maintain if you could preserve the angle brackets <> in the input.
