This package contains the monad transformer class and IO monad class, +concrete functor and monad transformers, each with associated operations and functions +to lift operations associated with other transformers. The package can be used on +its own in portable Haskell code, in which case operations need to be manually lifted +through transformer stacks. Alternatively, it can be used with the +non-portable monad classes in the @code{mtl} or @code{monads-tf} packages, +which automatically lift operations introduced by monad transformers through +other transformers.") + (license license:bsd-3))) + ;;; haskell.scm ends here -- cgit 1.4.1
