tuple limit: tuple exceeding 9 members results in elm-make error

[kkruups]

Tuples exceeding 9 members result in following errors being indicated:

elm-make: Could not find `_Tuple10` when solving type constraints.
elm-make: thread blocked indefinitely in an MVar operation

Code to reproduce this issue:

import Html exposing (text)

myTup = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

main =
  text <| toString myTup

It appears like tuples are special, and constrain the number of members.
They do not allow same number of members as Lists, since I can create a list with the same
number of members without issue.

myList = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

Why the constraint?

Is this WAD?

Additional Info:

I wanted to do the following with tuples, which works with lists but not tuples:

import Html exposing (text)

-- timesIt = \y -> [let baizo x =  x * y  in ( baizo 1 , baizo 2 , baizo 3, baizo 4, baizo 5, baizo 6, baizo 7, baizo 8, baizo 9, baizo 10 )]

timesIt = \y -> [let baizo x =  x * y  in [baizo 1 , baizo 2 , baizo 3, baizo 4, baizo 5, baizo 6, baizo 7, baizo 8, baizo 9, baizo 10 ]]

myList = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

main =
  text <| toString <| timesIt 3

Thanks for reporting this @kkruups!

This repo is for Elm's core package, whereas what you've discovered is a compiler bug.

Would you mind re-opening this issue on https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler/issues ?
