Simon Michael 01db48fcfc cli: a more robust and featureful bench test
The bench script invoked by cabal bench or stack bench now links the
benchmarked code directly, avoiding any dependence on the shell and
$PATH. Also, it reports the journal parse time and the various reports
on the parsed data separately, and runs quicker.

You can get more accurate benchmark times by running with --criterion.
This will usually give much the same numbers and takes much longer.

Benchmarking via simplebench is still available, by running with
--simplebench. In this mode it benchmarks whatever commands are
configured in bench/default.bench. A disadvantage is that it uses the
first "hledger" executable in $PATH, so check which one it reports.

hledger

lightweight, portable, dependable accounting tools

hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities, on unix, mac and windows (and web-capable mobile devices, to some extent).

It is first a command-line tool, but there is also a web interface and a Haskell library (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib) for building your own programs and scripts (hledger is written in Haskell). hledger was inspired by and is largely compatible with Ledger. hledger is free software available under the GNU General Public License v3+.

hledger aims to help both computer experts and regular folks to gain clarity and control in their finances and time management, but currently it is a bit more suited to techies. I use it every day to:

  • track spending and income
  • see time reports by day/week/month/project
  • get accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing
  • track invoices

Though limited in features, hledger is lightweight, usable and reliable. For some, it is a simpler, less distracting, more future-proof alternative to Quicken or GnuCash.
