A tutorial clearing up the confusion of String, vs ByteString vs Text

When to use each, when to use strict vs lazy, how to inter-operate between them.

Anyone willing to have a go at this one should probably take into account the arguments in this reddit thread about the lazy types, both pro and contra.

I would like to write this one. I believe I'll finish before Monday.

That's awesome! :D Would you like to submit that to dohaskell?

Yeah. I'll be late at home today, so you can do that.
