Just wanted to let everyone know that I just updated the documentation for roc-parser.

Thank you for the feedback from AoC, I really appreciate it.

If anyone finds anything that could be improved, please raise an issue.

Wow. I did not know this documentation existed. Maybe you could add a link to the readme on https://github.com/lukewilliamboswell/roc-parser

I tried to include examples for most of the usual suspects. You should be able to copy-paste the examples and they will work.

We have discussed previously a design for enabling expectations in doc comments to be actually tests, but that isn't implemented yet. So these are included as tests in the String module.

I've been loving this library. I was just using it this morning for the Advent of Code. The examples in the documentation has helped a lot to use the library. I'm having trouble with the final composition of the parser, but I'll check if someone else has encountered a similar problem before opening a thread.

New release of roc-parser 0.4.0, primarily to update for changes with string interpolation.

Documentation is great, and the keep and skip functions are very well named. I used to write parsers in haskell and until today I thought I would forever miss the <$>, <$ and $> operators, but now I think those operators are needlessly confusing and esoteric notation. It's also lovely that the examples I've seen are done without using <- Very well thought out. Very well done. :+1:

Glad to hear your enjoying using it. The skip and keep idea came from @Richard Feldman and I love it too!
