functional programmers! what are some of your favorite data structures? what wild, weird, exotic things have you seen and been fascinated by?
for me, i’m especially in love with zippers/tubes/derivatives, and also with memotries

oh yes, recursion generally speaking are neat :) it took me ages to understand foldr, and i think i only succeeded once i learned about Fix/Mu types

If you understand those types you should be able to pick up recursion schemes pretty quickly

yeah i figured it all out a few years ago after struggling for a while :p the relationship of mu types to other things is really cool too

I am extremely pleased to see people recommending my posts
Recursion schemes are indeed cool and I’m happy to answer any questions y’all might have -

things that I'm a huge fan of lately: extensible effects (cc
@rob_rix), streaming libraries like `machines`, and building EDSLs with generalized algebraic data types and interpreters! the latter especially is changing how I approach problems
