Hi Christopher, a data type can be an instance of Category only if it has kind * - * - *. It must have 2 type parameters so that you could have types like 'cat a a'. Some simple examples: import Prelude hiding (id, (.)) import Control.Category import Data.Monoid -- See

Hello! Try doing this first: loadModules [My.Module] You may also need to set the searchPath - it defaults to the current director. Another good function to know about is setTopLevelModules, which is just like using :load in ghci - it imports everything in the module, including its imports.

Ahh, right! Now that I think harder about it, as far as I know, there is no way to get Hint to load a module with an extra import. If it doesn't hide the prelude, then one thing to try would be writing your own ./Prelude.hs file. I'd test this, but I'm not currently on a computer with GHC. If

In my current pondering of the compose-able objects them, I was thinking it would be useful to have the follow abstractions: Monoids, which were themselves tuples of Monoids. The idea was something like so: code: import Data.Monoid instance Monoid (Socket2 a b) where mempty = Socket2

Is Socket2 a b any different from the pair (a,b)? Assuming Socket2 looks roughly like the following: import Data.Monoid data Socket2 a b = Socket2 (a,b) Then if both a and b are instances of Monoid we can make Socket2 a b into an instance of Monoid the same way we make (a,b) into a Monoid.
