- Additional information
- Based on this work, a proposal was made on Reddit to add Unsaturated Type Families as an extension to the de-facto standard Haskell compiler, GHC, in June 2019 (http://tiny.cc/1yowkz; 97% upvoted). There was an ensuing discussion on GitHub with enthusiastic support (https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/242). Richard Eisenberg (Bryn Mawr College, USA), a GHC Steering Committee member, has recently championed the proposal and provided funding for Alp Mestanogullari from http://www.well-typed.com to oversee its implementation in GHC. The UnsaturateTypeFamilies extension has been made available on Github, and it is used by many people, e.g. see https://twitter.com/hashtag/unsaturatedtypefamilies for comments.
