Hello friends, After many discussions and beers at ICFP, I've written up my current best understanding of the unlifted data types proposal: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/UnliftedDataTypes Many thanks to Richard, Iavor, Ryan, Simon, Duncan, George, Paul, Edward Kmett, and any others who I may have forgotten for crystallizing this proposal. Cheers, Edward
