Type classes: Omit explicit instance name #417

Open gasi opened 2 years ago

gasi commented 2 years ago

The compiler change to make instance names optional was introduced in v0.14.2: https://github.com/purescript/purescript/releases/tag/v0.14.2

Yea, these instances are preserved across core / contrib until 0.15 because it’s a breaking change to remove them (it means losing support for 0.14.0 and 0.14.1). I think it’d be preferable to mention they’re optional.

I believe there’s another docs page where we talk about instance names being used for readable JavaScript that we could crib from?

This hasn't been merged because feedback hasn't been addressed. It wouldn't take much to finish it.
