Explanation: The Dhall programming language does not allow functions from terms
to types. These function types are also known as "dependent function types"
because you have a type whose value "depends" on the value of a term.
For example, this is $_NOT a legal function type:
┌─────────────┐
│ Bool → Type │
└─────────────┘
Similarly, this is $_NOT legal code:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ λ(Vector : Natural → Type → Type) → Vector +0 Text │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
⇧
Invalid dependent type
Your function type is invalid because the input has type:
↳ $txt0
... and the output has kind:
↳ $txt1
... which makes this a forbidden dependent function type
