This shall work generally, and a link to the implementation of monads in this approach: https://github.com/purescript/purescript/issues/3067#issuecomment-583290319 .

class Implicit label i | label -> i where
  inst :: label -> i

data EqD = EqD

data Eq a = Eq {
    eq :: a -> a -> Boolean
  , ne :: a -> a -> Boolean
}

mkEqFromEq :: forall a. {eq :: a -> a -> Boolean} -> Eq a
mkEqFromEq {eq} = Eq {eq: eq, ne: \x y -> not $ eq x y }

mkEqFromNEq :: forall a. {ne :: a -> a -> Boolean} -> Eq a
mkEqFromNEq {ne} = Eq {ne: ne, eq: \x y -> not $ ne x y}

-- EDIT:
eq' = r.eq where Eq r = inst EqD
infixl 2 eq' as ===

instance eqInt :: Implicit EqD (Eq Int) where
  inst _ = mkEqFromEq { eq : (==) }

main :: Effect Unit
main = do
  log $ show (1 === 2) -- false
  log $ show (3 === 3) -- true

I haven’t fully read your code, but just skimming over your main and === operator, you’re not actually using your Implicit class?

eq here refers to class Eq a's eq, not the eq inside your record

infixl 2 eq as ===
#3

Yes, I’ll change it. And the monad example given in the link shows another case.

fixed, compiled and work
