@andy_snow @damncabbage not a functor :(

@mwotton @andy_snow If you squint hard enough you could use it to map over different types with different lambdas... But yeah.

@damncabbage @andy_snow same thing as with crockford's epic misunderstanding of monads.

@mwotton @andy_snow Haha, I just stream-crossed in IRC with that same example. I'm still getting a handle on it, but it feels very... wrong.

@damncabbage I think sometimes people think there must be more to monads than there actually is, so they invent complexifications.

@mwotton @damncabbage Engimaneers do that a lot.

@gregmcintyre @mwotton @damncabbage FYI the link to the Ruby code misappropriates the word functor in an anti-knowledge manner.

@dibblego @mwotton @damncabbage I don't even know what that code was hoping to achieve. Tears, presumably.
