How does Frege generalize number literals?
Simple decimal literals without type indicator (i.e. one of the letters lndf) do not automatically have type Int in Frege. They will get assigned the type you probably wanted, and the literal will get adapted accordingly. This is why they are called DWIM (do what I mean) literals. This is...
How to improve the performance of Haskell IO?
Your example is slow because it uses lazy IO with String-s. Both have their own overheads. In particular, String is a linked list of Char-s, therefore it has two words of space overhead for each character (one word for the constructor tag and one for the forward pointer), and each...
How to properly use monadic expressions in Haskell without getting parse errors?
main = do let x = [0..10] print x works for me and so does main = do { let x = [0..10] in print x } I think you're trying to mix some different syntax options up....
Thread blocked indefinitely in an MVar operation

The idiomatic way to repeat the same action over and over again forever is forever serverLoop :: Socket -> IO () serverLoop sock = forever $ do (conn, _) <- accept sock forkIO $ handleConn conn ...
Haskell lens: let binding of Traversal'
The key point here is that the annotation should be in a separate line. If we do that, then we have a binding with an explicit type, as far as GHC is concerned. someFunction :: MyMonad () someFunction = do ... let x :: Traversal' MyState MyDataT x = myState.clients.ix...
Idiomatic list construction
list,haskell,functional-programming,idiomatic
The multiple call to addPoints could be replaced by a fold. As suggested in a comment, reversing your addPoint function would make things easier: addPoint' :: Point -> Polyline -> Polyline addPoint' p line = p:line So then your constructLine function could build a temporary list of the points to...
How to “wrap” monadic return value

attoparsec: succeeding on part of the input instead of failing
Depending on if consuming the whole input should be the property of parseNoteDocument or just the tests, I'd extend one or the other with endOfInput or atEnd. I'd suggest to define a proper Parser for your documents, like parseNoteDocument' :: Text -> Parsec NoteDocument parseNoteDocument' = many parseLine and then...
Cabal sandbox is using a global dependency. Could not resolve
It is difficult for cabal-install to produce a complete description of the mutual incompatibilities of an installation problem. It instead decides to print the first path to failure. However, it prints Dependency tree exhaustively searched. which indicates that there actually is no solution to the given problem. One thing that...
Why are takeR, dropR and splitAtR missing from Data.Sequence?
length is O(1), so splitAt suffices to define everything you need, in an efficient way. splitAtR i s = splitAt (length s - i) s takeR i s = snd $ splitAtR i s dropR i s = fst $ splitAtR i s According to the docs, splitAt costs O(log(min(i,length...
Rank N types in let bindings
You need explicit type annotations when GADTs are involved: abigail :: Person abigail = let x :: Person x Name = "Abigail" x Age = 27 in x Without it, GHC roughly sees let x Name = "Abigail" and says "OK, x is a function from the type of Name,...
Can't find defaultTimeLocale in Data.Time.Format
For some reason, cabal wasn't using the version I thought it was (1.5) but (1.4) probably from the haskell platform. Uprading fixed the problem.
Implementing map on a tree using fold
Try to write your last line as def map(tree:Tree[Int])(f:Int=>Int) : Tree[Int] = fold(tree , EmptyTree:Tree[Int])((l,x,r) => Node(f(x),l,r)) Scala's type inference is very limited compared to haskell, in this case it tries to infere type of fold from it's arguments left to right, and incorectly decides that result type of fold...
apply a transformation with function inline
The read lambda applies to the first argument and the first argument to the function given to foldl is the accumulator. Those two arguments are the opposite for foldr. So, expanded, it looks like this: foldl (\acc element -> (read acc :: Int) + element) 0 ["10", "20", "30"] Since...
First three items of a list in Haskell
Well, foo (x:y:z:xs) plus a “too short clause” certainly wouldn't be a bad solution. Another would be foo xs = case splitAt 3 xs of ([x,y,z],xs') -> calc x y z : foo (y:z:xs') _ -> [] Or, perhaps nicest, import Data.List (tails) foo xs = [ calc x y...
Replace all [ ] with {} - as short as possible [on hold]
All you need is love and to split print into putStrLn . show and then add a simple map in-between which does the conversion: main :: IO () main = let fn '[' = '{' fn ']' = '}' fn c = c in (readLn :: IO [Integer]) >>= putStrLn...
Stopping condition on a recursive function - Haskell
string,function,haskell,if-statement,recursion
Your code doesn't handle the case where a line is shorter than the maximum length. This is somewhat obscured by another bug: n is decremented until a whitespace is found, and then f is called recursively passing this decremented value of n, effectively limiting all subsequent lines to the length...
haskell beginner - my simple sort
The problem is you are only considering the same pairs of element on each pass. Consider: swap (a:b:t) | a <= b = a : b : (swap t) swap (a:b:t) | b < a = b : a : (swap t) What if we have a list [4,1,1,1]? swap...
GHC complains about overlapping instances when in fact they are not
Instances are only matched by the instance head. So, for the purpose of overlapping or not, what you wrote is no better than instance ToAVector [] a instance ToAVector v a which is clearly overlapping. To argue another way: ... as [] does not match G.Vector [] a ... this...
Pattern Match Vector Value in Data.Aeson
No, you cannot pattern match the way you are trying to do here. A JSON Array can contain values of different types, and you cannot pattern match on all values in a list like they where one. There are several ways to solve your actual problem here. There is a...

Changes in other elements based on listbox selections in threepenny-gui
First of all, there is a regression in Threepenny 0.6 which affects the code we are writing here. For the moment, if you are using 0.6 you will have either to go back to 0.5 or to cabal unpack and apply the temporary fix Heinrich suggests in the issue linked...
How to convert a Rational into a “pretty” String?
Here's one that I wrote a few weeks ago. You can specify the number of decimals you want (correctly rounded), or just pass Nothing in which case it will print the full precision, including marking the repeated decimals. module ShowRational where import Data.List(findIndex, splitAt) -- | Convert a 'Rational' to...
Generating instances for n-depth structures?
The other answers are quite nice in that they present a single (parameterized) data type that can handle structures of any depth; however, they use advanced type system features to achieve this. On the other hand, there are quite simple features that can be used instead to achieve the same...

Where to store API keys and other 'secrets' in a yesod app
There are many approaches to this, mostly depending on what flavor of devops/hosting your prefer. One option is to put a dummy value in the config file and override it with an environment variable at runtime (see: https://github.com/yesodweb/yesod/wiki/Configuration#overriding-configuration-values-with-environment-variables). You can also having an extra settings file for production that overrides...
Decremented value called in the recursion in Haskell
string,function,haskell,recursion,parameters
Yes, once you call again f with a new value of n, it has no way to reference the old value of n unless you pass it explicitly. One way to do it is to have an internal recursive function with its width parameter, as you have, but that can...
How to work with Cabal API
A exitcode-stdio-1.0 test suite is only an executable, which needs to implement main :: IO(). Cabal test just runs the executable and captures the output in a log file. So if you use a test framework like tasty, you'll get the output the tasty way. Of course, you can just...

How do I use zoom with a MonadState constraint of a newtype?
zoom has its own class for overloading, so no wonder just MonadState doesn't cut it. The Zoom class covers roughly the same ground as mtl, although it has somewhat more complicated machinery. In any case, you're not obligated to program in concrete monads. You can try enabling NoMonomorphismRestriction and inferring...

Why is f <$> g <$> x equivalent to (f . g) <$> x although <$> is not right-associative?
haskell,syntax,infix-notation,applicative,infix-operator
Why is f <$> g <$> x equivalent to (f . g) <$> x ...well, this isn't so much a functor-thing as a Haskell-thing. The reason it works is that functions are functors. Both <$> operators work in different functors! f <$> g is in fact the same as...

How can I express the type of 'takeWhile for vectors'?
haskell,types,binding,dependent-type
The type you suggest can not be implemented, i.e. it is not inhabited: takeWhileVector :: (a -> Bool) -> Vector a n -> Vector a m Remember that the caller chooses the type variables a,n,m. This means that the caller can use your function as e.g. takeWhileVector :: (a ->...

How can I parse fixed-length, non-delimited integers with attoparsec?
parsing,haskell,integer,attoparsec
Your code snippet is far from being self-contained (in particular, imports and the definition of your Packet data type are missing), but you seem to be overcomplicating things. First, define a parser for one-digit integers. Then, use the latter as a building block for a parser for two-digit integers. After...
Haskell: Type mismatch in function using foldr

Easier way to apply multiple arguments in Haskell
haskell,functional-programming,composition,functor,applicative
The Applicative class has the <*> operator (usually pronounced "ap", and is equivalent to Control.Monad.ap for most Monads), which combined with the <$> operator (itself just an infix alias for fmap) lets you write code like -- f :: a -> b -> c -- fa :: Applicative f =>...
Can I generalize GADTs that use type tags?
It depends on what you mean by being able to plug in "any game". Is every game going to have a MoveTag denoting whose turn it is? If so, then you can give g a kind signature and define the type class as class Minimaxable (g :: MoveTag -> *)...

Pipeline-like operation using TChan
It seems odd to me to be using STM and semaphores in the same code block... Why not do the entire thing in STM? In particular, why not a TChan (Maybe x), with Nothing indicating the end of the sequence? Also, notice that your fstPipe likely just generates a bunch...
Why does GHCI get “stuck” in an error state after an error?
The getStdRandom function basically looks up a StdGen value in a global variable, runs some function on it, puts the new seed back into the global variable, and returns the result to the caller. If the function in question returns with an error, that error gets put into the global...
Specifying a constaint for a class

You can define this as follows: f 0 = 1 f i | even i = sin(k) * cos(k) | otherwise = cos(k/2) - tan(2*k) where k = fromIntegral $ div i 2 I replaced x by f because x looks more like a variable than a function. Furthermore I...
Uniqueness and other restrictions for Arbitrary in QuickCheck
haskell,unique,predicate,quickcheck

compile-time vs. run-time cost of Hamlet templates
It's been a while since I worked on the code, so don't take this as authoratative (like Daniel mentioned, -ddump-simpl is a good call here). But I don't believe we're using the blaze-html combinators, just the data type. Hamlet itself concatenates strings as much as possible at compile time to...
IO Monad Example
The code you posted desugars into the following. x >>= (\a -> print a >> return 500) Or, expanding out the definition of (>>) x >>= (\a -> print a >>= (\_ -> return 500)) Then, you can see that in the different calls to (>>=), the types a and...
Why doesn't `iterate` from the Prelude tie the knot?

How to bring a data kind to the value level?
valueKind :: SomeValue a -> SomeKind is not possible. The a type parameter isn't present runtime in any shape or form, so we can't branch on it. The standard method for making use of types both at runtime and compile time is to make so-called singleton types. Singletons are indexed...

Combining Event and an attribute in threepenny-gui
This is intentional: The UI.checkedChange event only triggers when the user clicks the checkbox, but not when it is set programmatically.

Get each fibbonacci value in haskell
Consider the simpler problem of summing the first 100 positive integers: sum [x | x <- [1,2..], x <= 100] This doesn't work either. As a human, you know that once x <= 100 returns False, it will never return True again, because x is getting larger. But Haskell doesn't...
Where are line breaks allowed within Haskell expressions?
