name: free-functors version: 1.2.1 synopsis: Free functors, adjoint to functors that forget class constraints. description: A free functor is a left adjoint to a forgetful functor. It used to be the case that the only category that was easy to work with in Haskell was Hask itself, so there were no interesting forgetful functors. . But the new ConstraintKinds feature of GHC provides an easy way of creating subcategories of Hask. That brings interesting opportunities for free (and cofree) functors. . The examples directory contains an implementation of non-empty lists as free semigroups, and automata as free actions. The standard example of free higher order functors is free monads, and this definition can be found in Data.Functor.HFree. category: Data, Math license: BSD3 license-file: LICENSE author: Sjoerd Visscher maintainer: sjoerd@w3future.com stability: experimental homepage: https://github.com/sjoerdvisscher/free-functors bug-reports: https://github.com/sjoerdvisscher/free-functors/issues build-type: Simple cabal-version: >= 1.10 tested-with: GHC==9.0.0.20200925, GHC==8.10.2, GHC==8.8.4 extra-source-files: examples/*.hs CHANGELOG Library HS-Source-Dirs: src exposed-modules: Data.Functor.Cofree, Data.Functor.Cofree.Internal, Data.Functor.Free, Data.Functor.Free.Internal, Data.Functor.HCofree, Data.Functor.HFree, Data.Functor.HHCofree, Data.Functor.HHFree default-language: Haskell2010 build-depends: base >= 4.13 && < 4.16, template-haskell >= 2.15 && < 2.18, transformers == 0.5.*, comonad == 5.*, derive-lifted-instances >= 0.2.2 && < 0.3, contravariant == 1.5.*, bifunctors == 5.*, profunctors == 5.* source-repository head type: git location: git://github.com/sjoerdvisscher/free-functors.git
