| 2025-06-20 12:32:30 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <Profpatsch> I don’t much care for games of find the prettier definition |
| 2025-06-20 12:31:49 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <Profpatsch> probably |
| 2025-06-20 12:29:58 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | Profpatsch: first time looking at contravariant, but isn't 'adapt >$< a `divided` b' the same as 'divide adapt a b' |
| 2025-06-20 12:28:23 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | side-note: I highly doubt that 'INLINE divide2' pragma is necessary |
| 2025-06-20 12:26:08 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <Profpatsch> It’s like a holy grail that was just lying on the floor in the corner somewhere |
| 2025-06-20 12:25:40 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <Profpatsch> I haven’t seen it before |
| 2025-06-20 12:25:34 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <Profpatsch> I think I’m also, like, the first person to find a dual to "do" notation for Divide? |
| 2025-06-20 12:25:14 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | if that works for you, then that's a solution too, indeed |
| 2025-06-20 12:24:52 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <Profpatsch> I added an _ to coerce it to a function and now it works |
| 2025-06-20 12:24:34 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <Profpatsch> tomsmeding: takk for explanation |

| 2025-06-20 12:22:01 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | and without having to disable the monomorphism restriction, which is a rather big hammer that you'd like to leave sowed away if possible |
| 2025-06-20 12:21:39 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | that will cause GHC to infer the polymorphic type, without you having to write out the constraints |
| 2025-06-20 12:21:22 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | Profpatsch: here is an alternative: write `baz :: _ => Build r` and enable -XPartialTypeSignatures, and perhaps set -Wno-partial-type-signatures |
| 2025-06-20 12:19:59 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | because this can be a very unexpected and undesirable introduction of recomputation (and hence slowness), GHC refuses to do this by default |
| 2025-06-20 12:19:33 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | a non-function has the interesting property that once evaluated, it will not be evaluated again; when it's a (polymorphic) function, every use will implicitly apply it to its type class dictionaries, and hence it will be recomputed at every use site |
| 2025-06-20 12:18:53 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | because those constraints become actual arguments at runtime (dictionary translation), and hence for a non-function, that generalisation process would _make it a function_ |
| 2025-06-20 12:18:24 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | if the monomorphism restriction is enabled, GHC will only do this final generalisation process for things that are already functions, i.e. have >=1 argument |

| 2025-06-20 12:17:52 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | any constraints that existed on them become constraints on the function |

| 2025-06-20 12:17:35 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | then, if a function definition without a type signature still has unknown unification variables, they are implicitly "generalised" by introducing a forall quantifier for them |
| 2025-06-20 12:16:53 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | Profpatch: "because it follows directly from the definition of divide2" -- no, how the type inference algorithm works is it first instantiates all forall quantifiers with unknown type variables ("unification variables"), collects all constraints arising from your program and instantiates type variables in order to satisfy the constraints, and then looks at the result |

| 2025-06-20 12:14:53 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | doesn't sound relevant here |
| 2025-06-20 12:14:42 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | defaulting is for guessing an instantiation for an ambiguous type variable based on the type class constraints on that variable |
