Which is not to say any specific part is right, but for example the entire discussion on QuickCheck is hard to really make sense of and arbitrary is a famously good use of type classes.&lt;p&gt;Probably the most countercultural paragraph is the paragraph on recommending you make a fresh type rather than reuse an existing type. I think that you lose so many useful operations eschewing maybe for your uniquely named Maybe [1] that a type alias is probably a much better call there, and also captures what you meant more generically. Further, stuff like Maybe over a more specific instance works much better with valuable tools like Compose.&lt;p&gt;Similarly, the redundant constraint on Empty is the sort of thing that will only trip you up in the real world.&lt;p&gt;All in all, great article tho.&lt;p&gt;[1]: People underestimate the compiler cost of deriving instances. It adds up very fast if you derive lots of functors and foldables in your quest for unique names everywhere.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Some Notes About How I Write Haskell</title><url>https://blog.infinitenegativeutility.com/2017/12/some-notes-about-how-i-write-haskell</url></story>
