join :: Monad m => m (m a) -> m a #
The join
function is the conventional monad join operator. It
is used to remove one level of monadic structure, projecting its
bound argument into the outer level.
Examples
A common use of join
is to run an IO
computation returned from
an STM
transaction, since STM
transactions
can't perform IO
directly. Recall that
atomically
:: STM a -> IO a
is used to run STM
transactions atomically. So, by
specializing the types of atomically
and join
to
atomically
:: STM (IO b) -> IO (IO b)join
:: IO (IO b) -> IO b
we can compose them as
join
.atomically
:: STM (IO b) -> IO b
