Types of types: Haskell's Kind system

🔸The author learned about Haskell's Kind system while working on a Redis server clone, discovering its ability to classify and manipulate type-level constructs. They built higher-Kinded types (HKTs) using the Wrap and Compose functions, which take other type constructors as arguments, allowing for more expressive and reusable code.
