Hi All, I'm trying to merge in my head the concepts of: - functors from category theory; with, - the Functor typeclass in haskell. Here's what I have come up with: A Functor F in haskell is a type constructor that provides a functor map (fmap) and that maps Hask (the category of haskell types) into a category generated by the Functor. For example, Maybe maps the category of all haskell types "a" (i.e. Hask) into the category of all types of the form "Maybe a" by providing an implementation of fmap. Neglecting the fact that apparently Hask isn't a category, does this sound reasonable? I think the insight for me here is that functors in haskell are type constructors mapping Hask into another category. Is that a good way to think about it? Thanks! Dimitri
