simplemonads

Let's make monads easy, fun, and productive.

Platform support

Just pip install simplemonads and you're done. You can also download this single file into your project and use it as you wish without dependencies. Works across all platforms, so CPython >= 3.5 (Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS), in a single standalone html file, multiple files in the browser with dynamic loading, and even on microcontrollers with micropython.

Example GUI using monads: Success, Failure, Just, Reader, and Printer
