The full paper is here: http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~ctm/Idiom.pdf Is
that what you want?

It would be sweet to have the generality of Applicatives. I find the
examples of vectorised arithmetic and expression evaluators in that
paper quite compelling, besides the use of Applicatives as an
alternative way to talk to monads.
