Eq your errors
When building out error types in Haskell, we must derive Eq
or the compiler can’t pattern-match on them.
One instance of this is for using case
expressions where the constructor is the
condition. Thus, if the error’s constructor is the condition, we must have a way to
compare constructors. We could, technically, build our own custom Eq
definition,
but for something as simple as errors, why would you want to?
