ocat's Introduction

ocat

This library provides support for programming with common abstractions from category theory, including Functors, Monads and Bananas. There are some implementations for the core OCaml types as well.

Usage

Until I manage to write up API documentation, a tutorial and all the other helpful things that are currently missing, there are some pointers in the examples that should get you started.

ocat's Issues

evaluate usability of functor signatures

It's not clear whether functors like Monad should return a module that includes the base module's signature or not. Sometimes it feels more convenient if they do, e.g. Option monad below, one the other hand it gets tedious to add include Monad(Foo) with type 'a t := 'a t all the time.

(* without base module *)
module Option = struct
  type 'a t = 'a option
  include Monad (
    struct
      type 'a t = 'a option
      let return x = Some x
      let bind f x = match x with Some v -> f v | None -> None
    end)
end

(* with base module *)
module Option = Monad (
    struct
      type 'a t = 'a option
      let return x = Some x
      let bind f x = match x with Some v -> f v | None -> None
    end)

Improve Fix examples

  • move out of functor example
  • add more motivation
  • cover all functions
    • cata/ana
    • hylo
    • para/apo
    • histo/futu
    • zygo

Add "Experimental" module

Modules for which any of the following holds should go there:

  • no examples
  • untested
  • usage unclear
  • API might change
