<interactive>:4:1: Couldn't match type `[a0]' with `()' Expected type: [()] Actual type: [[a0]] In the return type of a call of `sequence' In the expression: sequence [] :: [()] In an equation for `it': it = sequence [] :: [()] }}} Wat. Where on earth did ghci get the idea that {{{ sequence [] = [] }}}? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7727 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
