Re: Cont as Monoid

My usual rule of thumb is that inherent natural monoidal structure should have a higher priority than just applicative lifting of monoidal structure from the value type.

Monoid is a bit ridiculous as a class, as there are frequently several useful monoids on a type, leading to a collection of ugly wrapper newtypes. Monoid ought to be a type, in my view. And each of those wrapper classes can be replaced by a value in that type. -- Ashley Yakeley Seattle WA
