Higher-Order Type-Level Programming

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

However, things could still be improved. Type-level programs are notoriously tricky to write, partly because the type language is first-order, meaning that our old friends like the maps and folds cannot be expressed.

In this talk, Csongor will walk through the type-level programming facilities of modern Haskell, and present a new GHC extension which enables higher-order type programming: UnsaturatedTypeFamilies.

This talk is based on the ICFP 2019 paper Higher-Order Type-Level Programming in Haskell and is aimed at people who are curious about how deep the rabbit hole goes if we do enable every possible language extension under the sun.
