2026-06-17 02:27:51 +0000 <monochrom> (But Kleisli arrow is the better destination if you want to start with semicolon.)

2026-06-17 02:24:23 +0000 <monochrom> Ironically "semicolon" is a good idea on its own because people already expect associativity and identity of it. That I can work with.

2026-06-17 02:19:25 +0000 <monochrom> Here is a true story. I saw https://medium.com/better-programming/monads-are-just-fancy-semicolons-ffe38401fd0e . Then I put it on an exam and the question was "show that it breaks a monad law". An example of being intuitive, makes you feel great, and falsified.

2026-06-17 02:15:26 +0000 <monochrom> I also mentioned "work with". I only know how to work with falsifiable definitions, that's why that's my bottom line. I have to be able to use something, not just "feel" that I "understand".

2026-06-17 02:11:24 +0000 <monochrom> BTW you don't really want "context = monad". Applicatives feel like "context" too.
2026-06-17 02:10:49 +0000 <monochrom> Likewise, I know how to falsify "foo is a monad". I don't know how to falsify "foo is a context", unless we just define "context = monad", at which point we don't need it either.

2026-06-17 02:10:01 +0000 <monochrom> Here is an example. You have heard "survival of the fittest". I know how to falsify "this species survives". I don't know how to falsify "fit", unless we just say "it's just a synonym for survival", at which point we don't need it.
2026-06-17 02:07:58 +0000 <monochrom> I know how to formalize those too. But perhaps my point is not formalization. I mentioned "falsifiable", that's my real bottom line. It just happens that math is a very good way to do that.
