I'm reading "Thinking with Types" by Sandy Maguire, and there's a bit of code on p. 27 that I don't understand and can't get to work. The "Type 3" seems to have the effect of multiplying by 3.
:set -XDataKinds :set -XTypeOperators :kind! (1 + 17) Type 3
(1 + 17) Type 3 :: Nat = 54 But it doesn't work for me. When I try this, I get... $ ghci --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.2.2 $ ghci λ> :set -XDataKinds λ> :set -XTypeOperators λ> :kind! (1 + 17) Type 3 <interactive>:1:2: error: Not in scope: type constructor or class '+' <interactive>:1:10: error: Not in scope: type constructor or class 'Type'
