定义新的 monad 实例

Question

几天前，我试图通过创建一个新的 monad 实例来证明 monad 法则，但我发现自己陷入了定义新 monad 实例的困境。

{-# LANGUAGE DeriveFunctor, InstanceSigs #-}
import Control.Monad

newtype Test a = Test { getTest :: [Maybe a] }
  deriving Functor

instance Applicative Test where
  pure = return
  (<*>) = liftM2 ($)

instance Monad Test where
  return :: a -> Test a
  return a = Test $ [Just a]
  
  (>>=) :: Test a -> (a -> Test b) -> Test b
  g >>= f = concat (map f g)  --Tried to do something like this

我在列表 monad 定义之后尝试了一些东西，但是因为 concat 期望 [[a]] 而卡住了，但在这里它得到了 [Test b]，所以也许还有其他可用的函数或者有没有办法让 concat 工作在新类型上？任何建议表示赞赏。谢谢

Answer 1

与 type 别名不同，newtype 包装器需要手动应用和删除。将 g >>= f = concat (map f g) 替换为 Test g >>= f = Test $ concat (map (getTest . f) g).

这只会给您留下一个类型错误：g 的类型是 [Maybe a] 而不是所需的 [a]。我们可以添加一个 catMaybes（需要 import Data.Maybe）来解决这个问题：Test g >>= f = Test $ concat (map (getTest . f) $ catMaybes g)。现在可以编译了。

不幸的是，这种情况是不合法的。我将把它留作 reader 的练习，以确定为什么不可以，以及它是否可以轻松修复。

它们可以是derived the the MaybeT [] transformer:

{-# Language DerivingVia              #-}
{-# Language StandaloneKindSignatures #-}

import Control.Applicative       (Alternative)
import Control.Monad             (MonadPlus)
import Control.Monad.Fix         (MonadFix)
import Control.Monad.Trans.Maybe (MaybeT(..))
import Control.Monad.Zip         (MonadZip)
import Data.Kind                 (Type)

type    Test :: Type -> Type
newtype Test a = Test { getTest :: [Maybe a] }
 deriving (Functor, Foldable, Applicative, Alternative, Monad, MonadFail, MonadFix, MonadPlus, MonadZip)
 via MaybeT []

:instances MaybeT []:

其中一些实例也可以通过 Compose [] Maybe but famously monads don't compose. :instances Compose [] Maybe:
