Not using Stack for anything, just trying to understand how things can be done 
in Haskell.

To that end...

What's going on here? I'm not even calling function POP.

Michael

======================

module Data.Stack (Stack, emptyStack, isEmptyStack, push, pop, top) where

newtype Stack a = Stack [a]

emptyStack = Stack []
isEmptyStack (Stack xs) = null xs
push x (Stack xs) = Stack (x:xs)
pop (Stack (_:xs)) = Stack xs
top (Stack (x:_)) = x

======================

You could also implement stacks with mutable data structures, e.g.
STArray, etc.

What do you want to use a stack ADT for?

Usually stacks are discussed for pedagogical purposes but usually
recursion is used if you need a stack like operation.
