 Are Haskell FlexibleInstances a stable extension to the language?

hope this fix your issue What is the problem with FlexibleInstances in Haskell? Why are they not included in Haskell 2010? Were implementations of FlexibleInstances simply not stable enough for inclusion into a standard or are deeper concerns connected to FlexibleInstances? Is it safe to use them? Will they likely be included in Haskell Prime? ,
Is it safe to use them?

What is the FlexibleContexts extension good for? Could you please explain it using a simple example?

like below fixes the issue Without FlexibleContexts all typeclass constraints on function definitions must have type variables. For example: code :
add :: Num a => a -> a -> a
add = (+)
intAdd :: Num Int => Int -> Int -> Int
intAdd = (+)
class Shower a b where
myShow :: a -> b
doSomething :: Shower a String => a -> String
doSomething = myShow

I hope this helps . , The reason is actually in the error message. code :
Non type-variable argument in the constraint:
MArray a0 Char m (Use FlexibleContexts to permit this)
drawLine :: MArray a Char m => ...
drawLine :: (Num n, MArray a n m) => ...

it helps some times You can solve this by either enabling FlexibleContexts as it suggests, or by changing your function to work on something more general than lists.
The issue is that Haskell does not allow non-type variable things in a context. If you write out the types of your functions (which you should be doing anyway), you get
