  1. More on Free Applicative Functors

    Since free applicative functors are free, does that mean they are monads over indexed types? Also, can we squeeze out any more performance? (2013-06-12)

  2. Prompt Monads are Free

    A brief look at Prompt monads, showing that they are free monads, that Prompt is a monad over indexed types, and how it can be used to build composable components. (2013-06-07)

  3. ZedneWeb 2013

    After ten years, it’s time for a new content manager here at ZedneWeb. And after 12½ years, it’s time for a new look. You’ll probably never experience the former, and you can already see the latter, but here’s a blog post about it anyway. (2013-06-06)

  6. Parameterized monads vs monads over indexed types

    Parameterized monads are a known way of extending the monadic interface. As an alternative, Conor McBride suggested using monads over indexed types. How do these approaches compare? (2012-07-29)
