;;; maybe.el --- Library for dealing with nil values -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
|
|
|
|
;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
|
|
;; Version: 0.0.1
|
|
;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24"))
|
|
;; Homepage: https://user.git.corp.google.com/wpcarro/briefcase
|
|
|
|
;;; Commentary:
|
|
;; Inspired by Elm's Maybe library.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; For now, a Nothing value will be defined exclusively as a nil value. I'm
|
|
;; uninterested in supported falsiness in this module even at risk of going
|
|
;; against the LISP grain.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; I'm avoiding introducing a struct to handle the creation of Just and Nothing
|
|
;; variants of Maybe. Perhaps this is a mistake in which case this file would
|
|
;; be more aptly named nil.el. I may change that. Because of this limitation,
|
|
;; functions in Elm's Maybe library like andThen, which is the monadic bind for
|
|
;; the Maybe type, doesn't have a home here since we cannot compose multiple
|
|
;; Nothing or Just values without a struct or some other construct.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Possible names for the variants of a Maybe.
|
|
;; None | Some
|
|
;; Nothing | Something
|
|
;; None | Just
|
|
;; Nil | Set
|
|
;;
|
|
;; NOTE: In Elisp, values like '() (i.e. the empty list) are aliases for nil.
|
|
;; What else in Elisp is an alias in this way?
|
|
;; Examples:
|
|
;; TODO: Provide examples of other nil types in Elisp.
