    It's a lovely kata! Great for someone who studies Japanese, with an interest in computational linguistics.

    But argh, do you know what? I spent hours upon hours building a neat little parser with the Parsec library—reading tutorials, getting deep into the methodology. And only then did I realize that you can't import Text.Parsec in Codewars. Oh dear!

    Well, the description doesn't say much. Does the longest possible match get picked? Or in the existing order? Could have saved me some time.

    Somehow, I think that using an additional random check on pattern only strings (like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaiaiiaiai", "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", etc) is reasonable on this kata. Something like

    it "`translit` should transliterate strings" $
  conjoin [
    property $ \s -> translit s == solution s,
    property $ forAll (fmap (concatMap fst) . listOf1 . elements $ patterns) $ \s -> translit s == solution s
  ]
