So, at the weeknd (well, since Friday evening), I went down the rabbit hole

and pulled apart a lot of my application, now it's broke. But, I can reassemble it (avengers unite!) into better shape.

i just pulled a codebase to pieces too @dharrigan, to rebuild it stronger and better - it's one of my favourite things to do

🙂 Causes a little bit of fret...tendency to bikeshed 🙂

every time you reassemble, it gets a little more ductile...

until in the end it completely snaps.. (probably)

Hmm perhaps supple would be a better description

still less than half way done with monadparty 2021 refactor of this codebase

I heard once about the Curse of Monads

aka, once you know about monads, you loose the ability to describe what a monad is

it's a container, that is guaranteed to compose with other containers of its type

monads, done

🎤 drop?

pretty much :D

i mean obv there's infinite subtlety to how that thrashes out, but it's basically about composition at its core

obv side effects are the original motivation https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/1993/01/imperative.pdf

i find the more i work with them, the more 'aha' moments i get from re-reading the paper

i've been working with them for a good while, and i'm still getting aha moments... i should probably go and re-read the paper

a lot of the interesting bit is almost the motivation section

also the vs effects & continuations discussion
