Dear devs, May I update Kind page of trac wiki [1] as following ? - "#" is the kind of unboxed values. Things like Int# have kind #. + "#" is the kind of unlifted values. Things like Int# have kind #. Is this correct? (These pages [2][3] are explained as "unlifted values".)

Yes, that looks right. But much is in flux with levity polymorphism! https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/LevityPolymorphism Thanks. We need people to keep improving the wiki; it tends to get out of date Simon From: ghc-devs [mailto:ghc-devs-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Takenobu Tani Sent: 13 January 2017 13:01 To: ghc-devs@haskell.org Subject: Kind page of trac wiki Dear devs, May I update Kind page of trac wiki [1] as following ? - "#" is the kind of unboxed values.

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the reply and explanation.
I'll update the kind page and add explanation to refer to page of
"LevityPolymorphism".

Dear devs,
May I update Kind page of trac wiki [1] as following ?
- "#" is the kind of unboxed values. Things like Int# have kind #.
+ "#" is the kind of unlifted values. Things like Int# have kind #.
Is this correct?
