 In the beginning of February, I spent a lot of time working on a new library for parsing CSV data in Elm.

+In early 2021, I was working on a page at [NoRedInk](https://noredink.com) that let our curriculum team import big batches of updates to premade assignments for teachers to use.
+The page was taking *for-ev-er* to work since the CSV parser we were using at the time was fairly slow.
+I decided to fix it that!
+
+I ended up publishing the resulting code as [BrianHicks/elm-csv](https://github.com/BrianHicks/elm-csv), a CSV decoding package that works like Elm's [JSON decoders](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/json/latest/).
+It's super fast—there's a lot of hand-rolled character-wise parsing work to thank for that—and at the time of publishing was the only CSV package for Elm that didn't force you to separate character parsing from interpretation.
