Got "parse error on input ‘=’” in Emacs Intero REPL when define any function

Hi, I am trying to define some functions in a REPL window of emacs intero. However, I always got "parse error on input ‘=’” as blow: Starting: stack ghci --with-ghc intero "--docker-run-args=--interactive=true --tty=false" --no-build --no-load --ghci-options -odir=/Users/spike/Code/haskell/learn-haskell/baby/.stack-work/intero/intero445zea --ghci-options -hidir=/Users/spike/Code/haskell/learn-haskell/baby/.stack-work/intero/intero445zea baby Intero 0.1.20 (GHC 8.0.2) Type :intro and press enter for an introduction of the standard commands. addTwo x y = x + y <interactive>:2:12: error: parse error on input ‘=’ Perhaps you need a 'let' in a 'do' block? e.g. 'let x = 5' instead of 'x = 5’ I did some research, seems like “let” is not a must here for ghci version above 8.0. And my ghc version is 8.0.2. So is it a issue of ghci or intero? Thanks, Sid

I find if I run “stack ghci intero” (remove the “—with-ghc”) from terminal, then the issue will not occur. Does anyone have idea why?

Thanks, I know if using “let”, there’ll be no error. My question is: 1. what does option "—with-ghc” do? 2. Is it better to remove “—with-ghc” when running in intero REPL? If yes, how to remove it?

Hello, everybody! I can process list in monad style with "do" syntax and to use "guard" function in the body. Something like: fn :: [a] -> [a] fn lst = do el <- lst guard $ condition el ... return $ change el How can I do the same but with possibility to call "tell" of "Write" monad in the fn's body? As I understand it should be: ListT (Writer w) Int for this example? - but how to write it? - how to call (run) it? - and how is it safe ("transformers" package has bug in ListT, so "mtl" must be used?)? - is there other canonical way to do it without to use fold*, recursive calls/fix, State/RWS ? /Cheers

Yes! And this is the source of my questions.. 1) How to call it? 2) What does mean to provide argument of type ".. Writer .."? As result, it's good: you can run it with "runWriter", but what is "writer" in input argument? Fake writer (which is ignoring)?

I am not sure for question #1. If we look at the constructor of ListT (`runListT :: m [a]`) and MonadWriter (`(a, w)`) and we compose the two we get: ([a], w) -- or ([Integer], String) in our example -- e.g. ListT (writer ([1,2], "ciao")) <-- to construct No idea what is the correct name of this critter. As we can see by running it, the argument in `fn` (both the list part and the string part) is not ignored: λ> fn $ ListT (writer ([1,2], "ciao")) ListT (WriterT (Identity ([3],"ciaohey baby"))) Does this answer your questions?

@Francesco, yes, it completely answers my questions. Thank you very much
for clarification!! I got it.

ListT is a bit weird in that it affects whatever monad is underneath
it, so the order of your types in your Transformer stack matters.
Both ways have different meanings and each have legitimate uses. In
any case you must use the lift function to get to the monad below the
one you are at.
import Control.Monad.List
import Control.Monad.Writer
test :: IO ()
test = do
(runListT $ runWriterT proc1) >>= print
(runWriterT $ runListT proc2) >>= print
return ()
proc1 :: Monad m => WriterT String (ListT m) Int
proc1 = do
tell ("started: " :: String)
x <- lift $ ListT (return [1,2])
y <- lift $ ListT (return [3,4,5])
lift $ guard (y /= 5)
tell ("x:" ++ show x)
tell ("y:" ++ show y)
return (x * y)
proc2 :: Monad m => ListT (WriterT String m) Int
proc2 = do
lift $ tell ("started: " :: String)
x <- ListT (return [1,2])

guard (y /= 5)

To start all these types with T at the end are transformers. They are
a type that is wrapped around some inner m. StateT s m, ErrorT e m a,
and so on.
In order to use do notation, you must be in a type which is an
instance of Monad.
newtype ListT (m :: * -> *) a = ListT {runListT :: m [a]}
instance [safe] Monad m => Monad (ListT m)
newtype WriterT w (m :: * -> *) a = WriterT {runWriterT :: m (a, w)}
instance [safe] (Monoid w, Monad m) => MonadWriter w (WriterT w m)
These types and their instances say the following:
ListT m a is a Monad if m is a Monad.
WriterT w m a is a Monad if m is a Monad and w is a Monoid.
So in order to use do notation in a WriterT String (ListT m) a, I must
add the Monad m contstraint to proc, and also ensure that the writer's
w is a monoid (it is because it is a string).
Now to pass in a ListT as an argument, I must construct one. Remember
that in order to use the return function, m must be in a monad, so I
must add the Monad constraint.
foo :: Monad m => ListT m Int
foo = ListT (return [1,2,3])
test = (runListT $ runWriterT (proc3 foo)) >>= print
proc3 :: Monad m => ListT m Int -> WriterT String (ListT m) Int
proc3 foo = do
tell ("started: " :: String)
x <- lift foo
y <- lift $ ListT (return [3,4,5])
lift $ guard (y /= 5)
tell ("x:" ++ show x)
tell ("y:" ++ show y)
return (x * y)
As you saw in the other comment in this thread, most people use a type
alias to make it more palatable.
type MyApp m a = WriterT String (ListT m) Int
-- or type MyApp a = WriterT String (ListT IO) Int
proc3 :: Monad m =>ListT m a -> MyApp m Int
-- or proc3 :: ListT m a -> MyApp Int

пишет: Hello, David! Am I right that "WriterT ... ListT" is "list of writers"? As I understand, internal representation is "m (a, w)" where m is a-la List? So, this is list of "writers"? I am confused only of this "m" in your "proc1" function, because I suppose this must be Identity and type becomes "WriterT String [Int]" ? Or?
Can this function "proc1" be modified in the way to get input list and to "iterate" over its elements with "do el <- ..." but to can call Writer's tell in the same time? This is the problem for my mind - I can not understand how to pass input list and to have writer inside :) You call ListT's bind but over internal hardcoded list values...

David, many thanks for such a detailed answer and explanation!!
So, if I know that I'll iterate over list (vs abstract "m"'s bind), can
I replace "m" with Identity, to get list instead of abstract "ListT m"?
And last question: what is more canonical (Haskelish) way to iterate
over list with state? Fold*/State/Writer? Actually my ultimate goal was
to process list items with some state and possible IO (REST calls,
something else)... Is the usage of ListT + Writer (or ListT + State) a
good solution or better is to make all logic in one function and to
pass it to fold* (so state will be accumulating value)? I will iterate
over items of items of this list too: some of them are also lists,
so ListT looks more naturally IMHO, but I'm not sure...
David, in all cases - many thanks!!

If you fill in Identity for m, ListT m Int ends up becoming Identity
[Int], which is just a list.
Doing effects over a list is a classic FoldM. You can use the foldl
library on hackage to do most things, I think. To do it over a list
of lists, that actually sounds like something you would use ListT for,
but I don't use it much in my code, so I can't say for sure how well
it will work for you. For what it is worth I've also heard that the
version of ListT in base is not quite correct, although I don't know
why.
If you are feeling adventurous, check out the pipes tutorial
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/pipes-4.3.4/docs/Pipes-Tutorial.html,
there is a ListT done right section toward the end where it shows how
to construct and use IO code from his version of a ListT. That would
require you to understand and buy into the pipes ecosystem.

newtype WriterT w (m :: * -> *) a = WriterT {runWriterT :: m (a, w)} instance [safe] (Monoid w, Monad m) => MonadWriter w (WriterT w m)
These types and their instances say the following: ListT m a is a Monad if m is a Monad. WriterT w m a is a Monad if m is a Monad and w is a Monoid.
So in order to use do notation in a WriterT String (ListT m) a, I must add the Monad m contstraint to proc, and also ensure that the writer's w is a monoid (it is because it is a string).
Now to pass in a ListT as an argument, I must construct one. Remember that in order to use the return function, m must be in a monad, so I must add the Monad constraint.
foo :: Monad m => ListT m Int foo = ListT (return [1,2,3])
test = (runListT $ runWriterT (proc3 foo)) >>= print
proc3 :: Monad m => ListT m Int -> WriterT String (ListT m) Int proc3 foo = do tell ("started: " :: String) x <- lift foo y <- lift $ ListT (return [3,4,5]) lift $ guard (y /= 5) tell ("x:" ++ show x) tell ("y:" ++ show y) return (x * y)
As you saw in the other comment in this thread, most people use a type alias to make it more palatable.
type MyApp m a = WriterT String (ListT m) Int -- or type MyApp a = WriterT String (ListT IO) Int
proc3 :: Monad m =>ListT m a -> MyApp m Int -- or proc3 :: ListT m a -> MyApp Int

ListT is a bit weird in that it affects whatever monad is underneath it, so the order of your types in your Transformer stack matters. Both ways have different meanings and each have legitimate uses. In any case you must use the lift function to get to the monad below the one you are at.

David,
On https://hackage.haskell.org/package/transformers-0.5.4.0/docs/Control-Monad-...
is written that
"Deprecated: This transformer is invalid on most monads".
Also I found this: https://wiki.haskell.org/ListT_done_right.
But no such warning in the "mtl" package, and I don't know is it done
rightly in the "mtl" package...
David, what does mean "space leak" here:
"Use this foldl library when you want to compute multiple folds over a
collection in one pass over the data without space leaks"
--http://hackage.haskell.org/package/foldl
?
As I understand no real space leak when we are talking about Haskell
code, only not optimal usage of memory (for example, thunks number
grows up drastically)?
Guys, it's so good that there are people like you who have enough time
and desire to support us - Haskell beginners.

If you fill in Identity for m, ListT m Int ends up becoming Identity [Int], which is just a list.
Doing effects over a list is a classic FoldM. You can use the foldl library on hackage to do most things, I think. To do it over a list of lists, that actually sounds like something you would use ListT for, but I don't use it much in my code, so I can't say for sure how well it will work for you. For what it is worth I've also heard that the version of ListT in base is not quite correct, although I don't know why.
If you are feeling adventurous, check out the pipes tutorial http://hackage.haskell.org/package/pipes-4.3.4/docs/Pipes-Tutorial.html, there is a ListT done right section toward the end where it shows how to construct and use IO code from his version of a ListT. That would require you to understand and buy into the pipes ecosystem.

wrote: David, many thanks for such a detailed answer and explanation!!
So, if I know that I'll iterate over list (vs abstract "m"'s bind), can I replace "m" with Identity, to get list instead of abstract "ListT m"?
And last question: what is more canonical (Haskelish) way to iterate over list with state? Fold*/State/Writer? Actually my ultimate goal was to process list items with some state and possible IO (REST calls, something else)... Is the usage of ListT + Writer (or ListT + State) a good solution or better is to make all logic in one function and to pass it to fold* (so state will be accumulating value)? I will iterate over items of items of this list too: some of them are also lists, so ListT looks more naturally IMHO, but I'm not sure...
David, in all cases - many thanks!!

The Alternative class says nothing about the a in MyData a. It only
represents code relevant to MyData.
When you see class Applicative f => Alternative (f :: * -> *), that
means all of its functions had to work on any f, where f takes any
type and becomes some other type which could be anything.
The reason it works for Monoid is that class Monoid a where implies
that a is completely known by the time the instance is fulfilled,
therefore the instance can look at what a ended up being and ensure
whatever a is, it must have this constraint on it.
You can tell the difference because mempty returns a type that
mentions the a mentioned in the class, whereas empty returns an a that
is not mentioned in the class, therefore it has to work for any a.

But this snippet is not correct: "e <- str" extracts element not from stream, but from results (of "gen"). Even more, I don't know how to "yield" new items, based on stream items. Something like "await" of Conduit, or like in Python "for e in str: ... yield modified(e)...". Is it possible to do it with "do" notation? --- Best, Paul

I'll try to clarify the question. Sure I can traverse the stream items
with function like `a -> m b` applying it with `mapM`. But in this case
I will not have access to return of previous stream node, which I'm
planning to use as global state for whole pipe workflow:
.--state-------+--state'--------+--state''-->
| | |
[e0..eN] ==> [e0'...eN'] ==> [e0''..eN''] =====>
This "state" will be used for statistics, errors, whatever - through
the whold workflow. This "pipe" will iterate over `eN` items (which
will be streams too), concatenates results... How this can be achieved
with Streaming library? I mean each "node" should have access to stream
items but to "global" state (result of prev. node return?) too.
Is it possible?

But this snippet is not correct: "e <- str" extracts element not from stream, but from results (of "gen"). Even more, I don't know how to "yield" new items, based on stream items. Something like "await" of Conduit, or like in Python "for e in str: ... yield modified(e)...". Is it possible to do it with "do" notation?
