A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what’s the problem?
On the latest Haskell interlude podcast, the guest was talking about how using the ReaderT monad specifically introduces safety issues. My ears perked up because I’m right in the middle of leaning on it heavily in one of my Haskell projects.
Thanks for the clarification.
I’ve submitted this link because the topic is interesting to me, and !functional_programming@programming.dev is practically dead, with the last post dating back over 10 days.
For those who are down voting the contribution, be my guest and do better: submit interesting content.
Lemmy has a few perpetually online perpetual assholes that down vote anything they see - give a post a few hours and you’ll see the reasonable people show up.
Honestly, I don’t mind the downvotes. What puzzles me is how some people feel strongly enough about a topic to subscribe to a community, but still feel compelled to slap down contributions in a time nothing is being submitted, as if seeing no new posts is better than seeing a post that might not tickle their fancy.
It’s the difference between building up and tearing down.
FWIW due to Lemmy’s size, I think it’s actually more common to scroll Local or All rather than Subscriptions, so you’re probably getting votes from lots of random people rather than subscribers to this community specifically.
Have an upvote. Thanks for trying. Interesting to me also, but yeah, its dead in here.
