cabal install maybet

import Control.Monad.Maybe

f1 :: IO (Maybe Int)
f1 = return . Just $ 1

d2 :: Int -> IO (Maybe String)
d2 = return . Just . show

blah :: IO (Maybe (Int, String))
blah = do
  runMaybeT $ do
  a <- MaybeT f1
  b <- MaybeT $ d2 a
  return (a,b)

Or slightly rewritten:

f1 :: MaybeT IO Int
f1 = return 1
-- f1 = fail "why oh why?!?"

d2 :: Int -> MaybeT IO String
d2 = return . show

blah = do
  runMaybeT $ do

  a <- f1
  b <- d2 a

  return (a,b)

Hey,

I want to write a function, which is basically a concatenation of functions of type “IO (Maybe a)”.
When they all where of type “Maybe a”, no Problem I would simple use the Maybe monad.

func :: Maybe c
func = do
  a <- f1
  b <- d2 a
  ...

but now they are of type “IO (Maybe a)”. Is there some way of combing these in a similar smart way?

Thanks!
Nathan
