You don't write lisp, do you? Or probably it is just me. But I would prefer to write the line as

Doubtlessly, this is better than a one-liner, and I don't write lisp :). However I'd change the deriving clause and write it as newtype MyCoolMonad = MyCoolMonad (FirstTransformer (SecondTransformer (ThirdTransformer Whatever))) deriving (Functor, Monad, FirstClass, SecondClass, ThirdClass, SomeOtherClass) I don't think deriving clauses are unimportant and I like to see them. Also, I don't mistake the transformers as different parameters because of the parenthesis and because they're transformers, reading their names gives you a clue of how they may be used. Whoever knows transformers expect to see this kind of nesting. -- Felipe.
