Re: [Haskell-cafe] Are type families really this slow, or is this a GHC bug?

Thanks for pointing to that ticket. At first after reading through it, I thought my mistake was not using tail call recursion. But I updated the type families and they actually ran slower! I've gone ahead and reported a bug: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8095 On Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 1:31 PM, Jan Stolarek wrote:

The bug is marked as fixed, but perhaps behaviour you observed shows that there are other cases where constraqint solver is slow. I'd consider reporting this as GHC bug.
