#13401: GHCi gives conflicting information about visible type application -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: crockeea | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: | TypeApplications Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #11376, #11975 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): One more point to make about GHCi's lies: when GHCi doesn't lie, [https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2016-February/011268.html outrage ensues]. That debate shows that beginners (and, indeed, most Haskellers doing routine Haskelling) can't handle the truth. My point here is that lying is not always undesired behavior. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13401#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
