How To Install ghc-managed on Fedora 36
Introduction

What is ghc-managed
In Haskell you very often acquire values using the ‘with…’ idiom using functions of type ‘(a -> IO r) -> IO r’. This idiom forms a ‘Monad’, which is a special case of the ‘ContT’ monad (from ’transformers’) or the ‘Codensity’ monad (from ‘kan-extensions’). The main purpose behind this package is to provide a restricted form of these monads specialized to this unusually common case. The reason this package defines a specialized version of these types is to * be more beginner-friendly, * simplify inferred types and error messages, and * provide some additional type class instances that would otherwise be orphan instances.
