Asynchronous parsing

If you can find a good way to divide things into chunks then Process.sleep 0 should get you what you’re looking for. This should allow other events that the browser has backlogged during parsing to be processed before moving on to the next chunk.

loadData
  |> Task.map splitData
  |> Task.andThen
      (List.foldl
        (\chunk previous ->
          Process.sleep 0
            |> Task.andThen (\_ -> previous)
            |> Task.map (\alreadyParsed -> parsed ++ parse chunk)
        )
        (Task.succeed [])
      )
