I haven't used extensible records very much, but I think it's because the signatures don't match. The first is: >hasBothXAndY : HasXAndY (HasX a) but the other is: >fieldOfBothTypes : HasX (HasXAndY {}) The order matters.
(Btw, the (<|) function is the opposite of (|>). I personally use only the former, because it does things in the same order that you normally write a function. The latter makes things look "backwards".) On Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 7:06:13 PM UTC-5, Thomas Ballinger wrote: > > Thanks very much John.
