I'm no expert, but I will point you to 2 links that I think will be helpful on this topic on the wiki: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Lifting (especially if you're familiar with functors) http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Simple_StateT_use (for a simple example with a monad transformer) I'm also re-directing this question to haskell-cafe, where it's more likely to get a better response. Best of luck! On 3/27/07, Dave@haskell.org <Dave@haskell.org> wrote:
I've been looking for an explanation of the Haskell lift function which I don't yet get. There seem to be two kinds of lifting, one of which is making normal functions usable inside monads. I don't understand either type. I've googled for lift but what I've found has not helped me much. Is there a tutorial on what problem using lift solves?
Thanks,
