Depends on what kind of parser you're writing. Parsec is for things that humans typically write — like programs and config files. When the speed is not an issue, and good error messages are required. Attoparsec is for machine-generated formats, where you need performance but error messages are not so critical. So there's not that much overlap between these packages, although they both deal with parsing. Roman
