在Coq中,我可以为长度为n的列表定义教堂编码:
Definition listn (A : Type) : nat -> Type :=
fun m => forall (X : nat -> Type), X 0 -> (forall m, A -> X m -> X (S m)) -> X m.
Definition niln (A : Type) : listn A 0 :=
fun X n c => n.
Definition consn (A : Type) (m : nat) (a : A) (l : listn A m) : listn A (S m) :=
fun X n c => c m a (l X n c).
Haskell的类型系统(包括其扩展名)是否足够强大,可以容纳此类定义?如果是,怎么办?

确定是

使用常规GADT公式进一步证明(对于怀疑论者)同构:
{-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes #-}
{-# LANGUAGE KindSignatures #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
import Data.Kind -- Needed for `Type`
data Nat = Z | S Nat -- Roll your own...
type List (a :: Type) (n :: Nat) =
forall (x :: Nat -> Type). x Z -> (forall (m :: Nat). a -> x m -> x (S m)) -> x n
niln :: List a Z
niln = \z _ -> z
consn :: a -> List a n -> List a (S n)
consn a l = \n c -> c a (l n c)
