This must be why kinds (types of types) in Haskell are a separate and less powerful thing than ordinary types? | ||||||||

I believe it to be historically true, but Dependent Haskell might change this (https://ghc.serokell.io/dh see unification of types and kinds). In Lean (and I believe Rocq as well), the Type of Int is Type 0, the type of Type 0 is Type 1, and so on (called universes). They all come from this restriction. | ||||||||

I suspect not, because in that case Type is not a Type itself, but a Kind. | ||||||||
