SIP for control interfaces

See scalaz.

2009/3/2 Paul Chiusano <paul.chiusano@gmail.com>

Hi,   I was thinking of maybe putting together a proposal for including various control interfaces in the scala standard library. At a minimum, I was thinking of Functor, Applicative, Traversable, and Monad, as well as the usual collection of generic operations that can be defined in terms of these interfaces. I have a couple questions:   1. Is this work that would have a chance of making it into the stdlib? 2. Is there already work going on that would supercede this? 3. What exactly is the protocol for proposing something like this? Do I write an SIP or what?   Best regards, Paul

I don't think that answers any of the questions Paul asked. :) He's
aware of scalaz (and I think he even uses it). But scalaz is not part of
the standard library and the questions were about adding control
interfaces to the standard library.

Best,
Ismael

Then you and I parsed "2. Is there already work going on that would supercede this?" differently to each other.

I'll let Paul clarify, but from the discussion on IRC, I believe he's
asking about work being done for standard library inclusion. There are
no plans to include scalaz in the standard library as far as I know.

Hi,   Yes, to clarify, I'm familiar with scalaz. It seems like a great library and I've started using it. I was specifically asking about whether there's already work being done to add similar functionality (in particular, scalaz.control) to the stdlib. I know that the collections library is getting revamped so I'm not sure how much that overlaps, if at all.   Best, Paul   On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 11:11 AM, Ismael Juma <mlists@juma.me.uk> wrote:
