Effective Haskell: Chapter 6 - HKT and Polymorphism

In toCsv (ePub p 157, dropLeadingComma will leave a leading space. In the case statement, the first case is ‘,’:s’ → s’ and it should be ‘,’:’ ‘:s’ → s’

Also p 157. “Notice in the type signatures for the fold functions that we have a type class constraint on t, but in our type signature we’re applying the type a to t. That’s because t is a higher kinded type variable …” This is a bit terse (after reading it over a few times, I realized that this is really mind-blowing :slight_smile: ). I wonder if there could be some additional discussion relating the applying types (e.g., applying types to Either) to higher kinded variables.

The “Deriving Nullable” portion of the exercises could be expanded a bit. I’m not sure what is meant by being asked to “create derived instance of Nullable for optional types, while allowing you to easily select which distance you would like to use.”
