Instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

In this gist we will first show that we can beat the arc challenge
(http://www.paulgraham.com/arcchallenge.html), and then build the library that
shows how we did it. This gist is Literate Haskell and is of course executable. The packages needed are happstack-server and applicative-extras, installable using cabal.
Let's start with some imports (for now, you can ignore these)
> {-# LANGUAGE GADTs, TypeSynonymInstances #-}
> module ArcChallenge where
>
> import Control.Applicative
