Re: [Haskell-cafe] Need an example of new type constructor with zero data constructors

What you posted is the format for data declarations, not newtypes. Newtypes are required to have exactly one constructor: newtype [context =>] simpletype = newconstr [deriving] Adam On Fri, Aug 12, 2016 at 4:43 PM, James Brown <james.brown5374@gmail.com> wrote:

In the Haskell report 2010, a data declaration has the format of:

For a new type, there could be zero or more data constructors. What's the use case for a new type that has zero data constructor?
