What is the difference between Fix, Mu and Nu in Ed Kmett's recursion scheme package
问题 In Ed Kmett's recursion-scheme package, there are three declarations: newtype Fix f = Fix (f (Fix f)) newtype Mu f = Mu (forall a. (f a -> a) -> a) data Nu f where Nu :: (a -> f a) -> a -> Nu f What is the difference between those three data types? 回答1: Mu represents a recursive type as its fold, and Nu represents it as its unfold. In Haskell, these are isomorphic, and are different ways to represent the same type. If you pretend that Haskell doesn't have arbitrary recursion, the distinction
