Re: [Haskell-cafe] mapM and Control.Arrow

Cool, thanks for the pointer. But why is it that whenever something mildly categorical pops into my head, Edward Kmett has already published a package containing it? Olaf Am 09.07.2019 um 01:07 schrieb Zemyla :

It needs to be an ArrowChoice, not just an Arrow, but it can be done. https://github.com/ekmett/profunctors/pull/40

consider the declaration

mapM :: (SomeArrow a, Traversable t) => a b c -> a (t b) (t c)

For the Arrow a = (->), the above mapM is just an over-constrained fmap, since Functor is a superclass of Traversable. For the arrow a = Kleisi m, the above mapM is the Control.Monad.mapM we know. Currently I fail to see how it could be defined with any of the existing sub-classes in Control.Arrow.

One might say that fmap and mapM are on the same spectrum: If you specialize SomeArrow to (->) you can generalize Traversable to Functor, if you specialize Functor to Traversable you can generalize (->) to SomeArrow.
