Monads? Extremely overrated, tbh. Applicative, though,,

Applicative Code has got a blog! And with it, a first article sketching the concept behind the IDE.

I’m applicative-pilled. I’m in my Kliesli era. I’m going monad mode.

also, Applicative usually being defined in terms of (<*>) and not liftA2 was so incredibly damaging.

one thing I never really understood is why haskell (conventionally) uses curried function parameters but uncurried constraints.
why is it

traverse :: (Traversable t, Applicative f) => (a -> f b) -> t a -> f (t b)

and not

traverse :: Traversable t => Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> t a -> f (t b)
?

If you use Facebook, you are using Applicative Functors, and that is TRANS TECHNOLOGY!

Facebook uses (Haskell sense) Applicative Functors to parallelize its spam filters.
I invented Applicative Functors, in that sense.
I am trans.

il Garante privacy sta "indugiando" e mancano indicazioni applicative sui cookiewall - consentwall - paywall.

Intanto gli editori ne approfittano sfruttando il più possibile il tempo che passa senza regole.

In questo scenario, non posso fare molto, ma segnalo questo servizio:

I had to check whether I got this right in the ill-conceived lens post that I wrote six years ago, and it turns out that I did

Ma petite expérience perso : j’ai un NAS et j’utilise principalement la suite applicative de Synology, y compris le Cloud Sync qui permet de faire un backup sur le NAS de tous les services cloud les + répandus.

C’est pas parfait mais c’est mieux que R 🤷‍♂️
J'avais une question un peu dans le même style sur comment se barrer de l'écosystème google le jour on ça part en sucette.

Happy to announce my new #Haskell library, BetterNaming, which at just 5 lines massively improves the ergonomics of the language.

I need to write a talk solely for the purpose of presenting this slide and then never being invited to an FP conference again.

what is the free Applicative functor?
January 25, 2025 at 8:18 PM
yeah Writer. that is what (,) is in haskell (e.g. with the Functor, Applicative, Monad and (unfortunately) Foldable instances)

Traversals are the optics for applicative functors, but is there an optic for alternative functors?

forall f. (Alternative f) => (a -> f b) -> s -> f t
