Before I go back to ML out of frustration

Does anyone why this HASKAL code won't compile?


data Stack a = MkStack a (Stack a) | Null

push :: a -> Stack a -> Stack a
push a stack = MkStack a stack

pop :: Stack a -> Stack a
pop Null = Null
pop (MkStack a stacks) = stacks

instance Eq (Stack a) where 
  Null == Null = True
  Null == (MkStack _1 _2) = False
  (MkStack _1 _2) == Null = False
  (MkStack x xs) == (MkStack y ys) = (x == y) && (xs == ys)

gives me


\home\anus\haskal\peyote-joints.hs:14:38:
    Could not deduce (Eq a) from the context (Eq (Stack a))
      arising from a use of `==' at C:\stack.hs:14:38-43
    Possible fix: add (Eq a) to the context of the instance declaration
    In the first argument of `(&&)', namely `(x == y)'
    In the expression: (x == y) && (xs == ys)
    In the definition of `==':
        (MkStack x xs) == (MkStack y ys) = (x == y) && (xs == ys)

I don't see any other opportunity to "clear it up" using extra annotations or whatnot, so...

It works for me. Apparently your type constructor is fucked. Poast the whole file.

Also you can drop the last parens.
