Monadic parser in JavaScript
After exploring Haskell for some time, I find myself often adopting functional concepts in my daily work.

For example, having to parse a custom data format I first tend to search for a Parsec clone implemented in the currently used language. This time it was for JavaScript, but a quick Google search did not reveal any relevant projects. Therefore following is the initial attempt to a probably first general purpose parser library for JavaScript, ‘p4js’.
