<div dir="auto">Haskell 2010 defines virtually the same language as Haskell 98. The differences are too trivial to worry about.

1. I'm looking for resources that describe how to implement kind Haskell <br>
98 checking. Does anyone have any suggestions?<br>
<br>
* I've looked at the PolyKinds paper, but it doesn't cover type classes.<br>
<br>
* I've looked at the source code to GHC, but it is hard to follow for a <br>
variety of reasons. It isn't laid out like an algorithm description, <br>
and the complexity to handle options like PolyKinds and DataKinds makes <br>
the code harder to follow.<br>
<br>
<br>
2. One question that came up is how to handle type variables that are <br>
present in class methods, but are not type class parameters. If there <br>
are multiple types/classes in a single recursive group, the kind of such <br>
type variables might not be fully resolved until a later type-or-class <br>
is processed. Is there a recommended approach?<br>
<br>
I can see two ways to proceed:<br>
<br>
i) First determine the kinds of all the data types, classes, and type <br>
synonyms. Then perform a second pass over each type or class to <br>
determine the kinds of type variables (in class methods) that are not <br>
type class parameters.<br>
<br>
ii) Alternatively, record the kind of each type variable as it is <br>
encountered -- even though such kinds may contain unification kind <br>
variables. After visiting all types-or-classes in the recursive group, <br>
replace any kind variables with their definition, or with a * if there <br>
is no definition.<br>
<br>
I've currently implement approach i), which requires doing kind <br>
inference on class methods twice. Is this the recommended approach?<br>
<br>
<br>
3. Also, is Haskell 98 kind checking the same as Haskell 2010 kind checking?<br>
