I have an example, perhaps not a datatype: tomorrow-you-will-know
Elaborating, one day later,
if you know something today, you can arrange to know it tomorrow if will know a function tomorrow and its argument tomorrow, you can apply them tomorrow but if you will know tomorrow that you will know something the day after, that does not tell you how to know the thing tomorrow
Yes, but if you will know tomorrow that you will know something tomorrow, then you will know that thing tomorrow. The applicative does coincide with a monad, just not the one you first thought of (or/max rather than plus).
