Re: 2014 Applicative => Monad proposal

I completely agree with Edward here. * Edward Kmett [2013-05-24 11:20:51-0400]

For the record I'm actually -1 on including Pointed.

My experience is that there are very few uses for the class that permit you to reason about your code without one-off ad hoc reasoning based on the particular instance you are given. Now, the Apply and Bind classes on the other hand... =) Though, to be fair, I couldn't seriously propose including either of those, either. Even I can't be bothered to instantiate them all the time!

I think that removing return from the Monad class and making it an alias of pure is the Right Thing to Do, but not yet. The proposal, as it stands, is very tasteful about how little it breaks. Let's keep `return = pure` on the back-burner for a while. ______________________________**_________________ Libraries mailing list Libraries@haskell.org mailto:Libraries@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/**mailman/listinfo/librarieshttp://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries
