When I :load this into ghci
import Data.Heap
heap = empty :: MinHeap (Int,String)
insert (1,"kjh") heap
I get
GHC stage restriction: `heap'
is used in a top-level splice or annotation,
and must be imported, not defined locally
In the second argument of `insert', namely `heap'
In the expression: insert (1, "kjh") heap
But when I type in
import Data.Heap
let heap = empty :: MinHeap (Int,String)
insert (1,"kjh") heap
everything works and I get
fromList [(1,"kjh")]
Why is that so and what can I do to prevent the "stage restriction"?

The GHC stage restriction is an error invoked when some Template Haskell
[1] construct requires the evaluation of run-time values at compile time. I
am going out on a limb and assuming that same code probably works in GHCI
because the interpreter does not have a discrete compile-time phase.
I assume that MinHeap is templated, but exactly how I do not know. Maybe
someone who is more familiar with Data.Heap will have an answer.

Your error is in the last line. `insert (1,"kjh") heap` is an expression, and
in
Haskell expressions can only occur inside (function) declarations. So you
should
instead write something like:
heap = empty :: MinHeap (Int,String)
heap2 = insert (1,"kjh") heap
In Ghci, expressions are evaluated and the result is printed, which is why you
are able to use it there.
