Because the code fun1 :: Int -> String fun1 1 = "hell" fun1 2 = 3 has obvious errors I was expecting HLint to display those errors.
I think you don't understand what HLint is supposed to do. It's GHC's job to show you type errors. HLint is only there to give you suggestions about style. I believe that the most it can do in terms of errors is to throw a fit when you have invalid syntax (not the case here). Example usage:
module Test where
main :: IO () main = print $ show $ id $ id $ id 5
I get
Test.hs:5:23: Error: Evaluate Found: id $ id $ id 5 Why not: (id $ id 5)
Test.hs:5:28: Error: Evaluate Found: id $ id 5 Why not: id 5
Test.hs:5:33: Error: Evaluate Found: id 5 Why not: 5
