For the sake of exploring libraries with complex types and typeclass instances, I want to check from the REPL whether a typeclass constraint is satisfied or not (provided all the relevant dataypes ...

I've got situation where I had a product type (say T), and an instance of say C derived using anyclass deriving, which works because each member of T is an instance of C. I changed one member of T ...

Is there a way to persuade GHCi to tell me what typeclass instances some arbitrary type expression implements? Obviously, you can use the :info command to find all the instances for a type constru...

Here is a short example in Scala 3: type Ext[S <: Seq[_]] = S match { case Seq[t] => t } trait XX[A, B <: Seq[A]] trait XX1[B <: Seq[_]] extends XX[Ext[B], B] So far it appears t...

I like to put type signatures for all top-level definitions in my code. However, type signatures in instance declarations don't seem to be allowed, and if I put one I get a "Misplaced type signatur...

Agda's mixiture of records and the instance keyword give us behaviour similar to that of Haskell's typeclasses. Moreover, ignoring the instance keyword, we can have more than one instance for the s...
