The scalpel won't make you happy.

Overview

lasercutter is a high-powered, high-speed, and high-tech tree parser for Haskell. It's somewhere between 500x and 1000x faster than scalpel on benchmarks and real workloads.

Not only is it smokin' fast, lasercutter is a general tool for chopping up any sort of tree you've got --- not just HTML!

Best of all, lasercutter rips through trees in a single pass. This is truly space-age stuff!
