join function?

[mnn]

Is there something like that in Ginger? I see split, but no reverse operation. After obvious first guess - join - I also tried intercalate, but that didn't work either.

You are right, join doesn't exist yet. If you'd like a stab at it, feel free to add it.

I wanted to give it a shot, but I can't compile the library (without changes, it should be the last commit in the master branch; d7ce850):

$ stack build

Are there any special steps needed?

I just tried, ginger builds fine on both ghc 8.8.3 and 8.10.2 (x86_64). However, I am not using stack, so maybe that's the problem?

In any case, the "the 'impossible' happened" error is really usually a bug in GHC, not in the code it compiles, so I'd suggest reporting this, as suggested (though chances are that this has already been fixed in GHC 9.0 or 9.2).
