Are there any examples of "nom" being useful?
I find 'nom' to be useful if defined as "const id": -- Given 'om' om f m = (m >>=) . flip f -- And 'nom' nom = const id -- And the natural name for a monadic version of 'no'thing noM = return () -- We construct a useful example of 'nom': eatCookies :: IO () eatCookies = om nom noM noM :-) Happy Friday, Greg On Thu, Jul 25, 2013 at 2:21 PM, Ganesh Sittampalam <ganesh@earth.li> wrote:

The function is:

I have to admit my first reaction to this was that it isn't April 1st...
More seriously, "om" sounds useful but the name seems a bit obscure ("on monad"?) Are there any examples of "nom" being useful?
