ts-free-monad v0.2.0

Free Monad

Highly performant implementation of The Free monad for typescript, internally based on persistent data structures which allow to avoid high computational complexity in monadic binds. There are also some in-place optimizations which replace recoursion to cycles to avoid stack overflow.

Advantages over other implementations:

• High performance
• Stack safe

inspired by:

• Purely Functional Data Structures (Okasaki)
• Reflection without Remorse (Ploeg and Kiselyov 2014)
• Purescript free (Eric Thul, Brian McKenna, John A. De Goes, Gary Burgess, Phil Freeman)

Installation

npm install ts-free-monad

Typescript limitations

Due to absence of higher-kinded types in typescript, there are some tricks/utils/best-practices the User is adviced to use to get round these limitations:

• Fantom type hot<f, a> which is intented to use instead of the real type free-monad is builded over. This type's doc explains how to deal with it.
• Free.fold method cannot have correct typing due to typescript's type-system limitations. This type's doc explains how to it correctly.
