Acme.Functors

Types are great. Lifting them into some sort of applicative functor makes them even better. This module is an homage to our favorite applicatives, and to the semigroups with which they are instrinsically connected.

Lifted-but-why

data LiftedButWhy a

LiftedButWhy is a boring functor that just has one value and no other structure or interesting properties.

Constructors

LiftedButWhy a

A value that has been lifted for some damned reason.

... Okay, to be honest, this one is nobody's favorite, but it is included here for completeness.

Or-not

data OrNot a

OrNot is somehow slightly more interesting than LiftedButWhy, even though it may actually contain less. Instead of a value, there might not be a value.

When you combine stuff with (<*>) or (<>), all of the values need to be present. If any of them are absent, the whole expression evaluates to Nope.

Constructors

ActuallyYes a

Some normal value.

Nope

Any-number-of

data AnyNumberOf a

AnyNumberOf starts to get exciting. Any number of values you want. Zero ... one ... two ... three ... four ... five ... The possibilities are truly endless.

Constructors

OneAndMaybeMore a (AnyNumberOf a)

One value, and maybe even more after that!

ActuallyNone

Oh. Well this is less fun.

Instances

Functor AnyNumberOf

Defined in Acme.Functors

Methods

fmap :: (a -> b) -> AnyNumberOf a -> AnyNumberOf b

(<$) :: a -> AnyNumberOf b -> AnyNumberOf a

Applicative AnyNumberOf

You can use this to apply any number of functions to any number of arguments.

pure a = OneAndMaybeMore a ActuallyNone

OneAndMaybeMore f fs <*> OneAndMaybeMore x xs =
    OneAndMaybeMore (f x) (fs <*> xs)
_ <*> _ = ActuallyNone

Example:

    ( (+ 1) ~~ (* 2) ~~ (+ 5) ~~       ActuallyNone )
<*> (    1  ~~    6  ~~    4  ~~ 37 ~~ ActuallyNone )
 =  (    2  ~~   12  ~~    9  ~~       ActuallyNone )

This example demonstrates how when there are more arguments than functions, any excess arguments (in this case, the 37) are ignored.

One-or-more

data OneOrMore a

OneOrMore is more restrictive than AnyNumberOf, yet somehow actually more interesting, because it excludes that dull situation where there aren't any values at all.

Also-extra-thing

data Also extraThing a

Also extraThing is a functor in which each value has an extraThing of some other type that tags along with it.

Constructors

Also

Fields

• withoutExtraThing :: a

  A value.

• theExtraThing :: extraThing

  An additional thing that tags along.

Instances

Functor (Also extraThing)

Defined in Acme.Functors

Methods

fmap :: (a -> b) -> Also extraThing a -> Also extraThing b

(<$) :: a -> Also extraThing b -> Also extraThing a

Monoid extraThing => Applicative (Also extraThing)

Dragging the extraThing along can be a bit of a burden. It prevents Also extraThing from being an applicative functor — unless the extraThing can pull its weight by bringing a monoid to the table.

Or-instead-other-thing

data OrInstead otherThing a

OrInstead otherThing is a functor in which, instead of having a value, can actually just have some totally unrelated otherThing instead.

When you combine stuff with (<*>) or (<>), all of the values need to be present. If any of them are the otherThing instead, then the whole expression evaluates to the combination of the otherThings.

Constructors

NotInstead a

A normal value.

Instead otherThing

Some totally unrelated other thing.

Methods

fmap :: (a -> b) -> OrInstead otherThing a -> OrInstead otherThing b

(<$) :: a -> OrInstead otherThing b -> OrInstead otherThing a

Semigroup otherThing => Applicative (OrInstead otherThing)

The possibility of having an otherThing obstructs this functor's ability to be applicative, much like the extra thing in Also extraThing does. In this case, since we do not need an empty value for the otherThing, it needs only a semigroup to be in compliance.

pure = NotInstead

NotInstead f   <*> NotInstead a   = NotInstead (f a)
Instead other1 <*> Instead other2 = Instead (other1 <> other2)

Or-instead-other-thing ("first" variant)

data OrInsteadFirst otherThing a

OrInsteadFirst otherThing looks a lot like OrInstead otherThing, but it manages to always be an applicative functor — and even a monad too — by handling the otherThings a bit more hamfistedly.

When you combine stuff with (<*>) or (<>), all of the values need to be present. If any of them are the otherThing instead, then the whole expression evaluates to the first otherThing encountered, ignoring any additional otherThings that may subsequently pop up.

Determined-by-parameter

data DeterminedBy parameter a

DeterminedBy parameter is a value that... well, we're not really sure what it is. We'll find out once a parameter is provided.

The mechanism for deciding how the value is determined from the parameter is opaque; all you can do is test it with different parameters and see what results. There aren't even Eq or Show instances, which is annoying.
