Just given this a read! It looks like you’ve put a fantastic amount of effort into this so far, and I can certainly see how it’s finding its legs! I’m very much looking forward to seeing this develop further. I can definitely foresee some uses for polykinded column types, and the possibility for named arguments is certainly interesting (though I have some concerns about performance — though none are relevant at such an early stage).
Unfortunately I don’t think I can answer any of the questions that I spotted on my read-through. Again, I’m looking forward to seeing this develop, and the naming of `coxswain` and `sculls` gave me a giggle. _ara > On 10 Sep 2017, at 23:24, Nicolas Frisby <nicolas.fri...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all.
