semigroupoids: Haskell 98 semigroupoids: Category sans id
Provides a wide array of semigroupoids and operations for working with semigroupds.
A Semigroupoid is a Category without the requirement of identity arrows for every object in the category.
When working with comonads you often have the <*>
portion of an Applicative
, but
not the pure
. This was captured in Uustalu and Vene's "Essence of Dataflow Programming"
in the form of the ComonadZip
class in the days before Applicative
. Apply provides a weaker invariant, but for the comonads used for data flow programming (found in the streams package), this invariant is preserved. Applicative function composition forms a semigroupoid.
Similarly many structures are nearly a comonad, but not quite, for instance lists provide a reasonable extend
operation in the form of tails
, but do not always contain a value.
Ideally the following relationships would hold:
Traversable <---- Foldable <--- Functor ------> Alt ---------> Plus Semigroupoid | | | | | v v v v v Traversable1 <--- Foldable1 Apply --------> Applicative -> Alternative Category | | | | v v v v Bind ---------> Monad -------> MonadPlus Arrow
Apply, Bind, and Extract give rise the Static, Kleisli and Cokleisli semigroupoids respectively.
This lets us remove many of the restrictions from various monad transformers
as in many cases the binding operation or <*>
operation does not require them.
Finally, to work with these weaker structures it is beneficial to have containers
that can provide stronger guarantees about their contents, so versions of Traversable
and Foldable
that can be folded with just a Semigroup
are added.
