@dibblego @mwotton @damncabbage The term means one thing in maths and another in C++ already. Maybe they were using the C++ definition?

@gregmcintyre @mwotton @damncabbage Functor is (x->y)->(Fx->Fy) satisfying id and comp. No such thing here, even approximately (like C++).

@dibblego @mwotton @damncabbage In terms of the OT, I didn't mind Rob's amended code (2nd tweet). Not as nice as Haskell but easy to grok.

@gregmcintyre @mwotton @damncabbage I think I missed that one. Twitter is awesome like that.

@gregmcintyre @mwotton @damncabbage This code is unrelated to the concept of a functor. I am getting confused.

@dibblego @gregmcintyre @damncabbage this was the original problem - the functors package was suggested, i bitched about the name.
