I think you can achieve what you want but you need to use the correct types for it. Remember that when you write: getFilterMainStuff :: Deliverable a = FilePath - Interpreter (Path, Filter a) the proper way to read the signature is the caller of getFilterMainStuff is entitled to pick the

Thanks so much, I think I understand. This definitely sounds like what I want to do. I guess I've got some learning to do... Thats why I love Haskell so much, every other day it gives me something new to learn. Thanks again, /Joe Daniel Gorín wrote: I think you can achieve what you want

2009-03-05 Thread Joseph Fredette
I've been working on a little project, and one of the things I need to do is dynamically compile and import a Haskell Source file containing filtering definitions. I've written a small monad called Filter which is simply: type Filter a = Reader (Config, Email) a To encompass all the email

This doesn't seem to do it, same type error... Maybe I need to use some kind of witness type -- to inform the compiler of the type of a @ runtime? Daniel Fischer wrote: Am Donnerstag, 5. März 2009 19:48 schrieb Joseph Fredette: getFilterMain :: Deliverable a = FilePath - Interpreter

So, by using the Haskell interpreter, you're using the not-very-well-supported dynamically-typed subset of Haskell. You can tell this from the type signature of interpret: interpret :: Typeable a = String - a - Interpreter a as :: Typeable a = a as = undefined (from

So, I tried both of those things, both each alone and together. No dice. Same error, so I reverted back to the original. :( However, I was, after some random type signature insertions, able to convert the problem into a different one, via: getFilterMain :: Deliverable a = FilePath -

Hi I've downloaded Hackmain from patch-tag, but I'm getting a different error. The error I get is: Hackmain.hs:63:10: No instance for (Data.Typeable.Typeable2 Control.Monad.Reader.Reader) arising from a use of `interpret' at Hackmain.hs:63:10-67 Hint

Oh, crap- I must have never pushed the latest patches, I did put the typeable instances in all the appropriate places. And provided a (maybe incorrect? Though I'm fairly sure that shouldn't affect the bug I'm having now) Typeable implementation for Reader, but I still get this ambiguous type.
