Kleisli is an operator to compose monadic functions. if you have one monadic function that takes in As and outputs Bs and another monadic function that takes in Bs and outputs Cs, and you want to chain them together, you use Kleisli composition.

How to combine option with Kleisli
Given a method
def f[A, B, C](a: A) : Kleisli[Future, B, C] = ???
I need a combinator working with an Option[A]
My first try was :
def g[A, B, C](a: Option[A], default: => C) = a match {
case Some(a) => save(a)
case None => Kleisli[Future, B,…

Kleisli Arrow with Writer in Scala. Why doesn't it compile?
This is a followup to my previous question. Looks like I still did not get it. Now I am trying to compose functions that return Writer monad.

f: Int =>…

Arrow law: first depends only on the first component of the pair. Why do we need this one?
John Hughes in his "Generalising Monads to Arrows" writes (chapter 8):
We formalise the property that first f depends only on first components of pairs as follows:
first f >>> arr fst = arr fst >>> f
I understand that the law filters out…

Application of functions and Kleisli arrows
(.) and (<=<) are quite similar:
(.) :: (b -> c) -> (a -> b) -> (a -> c)
(<=<) :: Monad m => (b -> m c) -> (a -> m b) -> (a -> m c)
and are available as a method in the Category type class ((->) and Kleisli instances):
(<<<) ::…

Using scalaz kleisli without explicit wrapping the function before
Let's say I have two functions val f: A => M[B] and val g: B => M[C] where M is monadic. Thus I want to combine them by using kleisli.
What I currently do is this: kleisliU(f) andThenK g
But I have not found a way to execute this combination without…

Are there interesting examples of composing Kleisli endomorphisms?
This is a follow-up to my previous question
We can define a function that finds an XML node by path (List[String], XmlNode) => Option[XmlNode] as a composition of functions (String, XmlNode) => Option[XmlNode] that get a child node by name.
We use…

Cannot find Bind instances for Free Monads over Coyoneda when composing functions via Kleisli arrows in scalaz
Thank you in advance for your help
I have 2 functions that I am trying to compose via Kleisli arrows. The functions accept String and produce FreeC. The kleisli arrows are created without an issue but the compiler is complaining that it cannot find.…

Composing functions that return an option
Suppose I have a few functions of type Int => Option[Int]:
def foo(n: Int): Int => Option[Int] = {x => if (x == n) none else x.some}

val f1 = foo(1)
I can compose them with >=> as follows:
val composed: Int => Option[Int] =…

Is Kleisli a functor, applicative, or monad?
This question is inspired by the feedback given to my previous question
Scalaz provides a wrapper class Kleisli[M[_], A, B] for a function A => M[B].
Kleisli[M[_], A, B] is a semigroup if M[_] is a semigroup. Suppose that M[_] is a functor. Is it…
