Functor, Applicative, Monad, Foldable, Traversable instances for (, , ) a b

[Tony Morris]

That's fine. You are welcome to believe these things. You are welcome to
take offense. You are welcome to believe using types responsibly is
"shallow and devoid of substance" or whatever thought might best express
this position that I find ridiculous. You are welcome to believe I would
benefit by checking credentials. I clearly disagree that using types
responsibly is shallow, and I also disagree that I would benefit by
"checking credentials." I think it would be yet another waste of time to
add to those that have been so strongly recommended. That's perfectly fine.

Just keep this amateurism out of my code and we can all carry on. Rather
than checking credentials, I instead demand that I work and seek others
who are skilled at using types. I will fight to retain this ability. I
need to hire people for example. I need to know if they are good at
writing code, using types, etc. I think it is fair to fight for this
ability, without getting personal, as you have chosen to do. I will
continue to fight for this ability regardless.

Anyway, programmers often degenerate into this personal ploppety poo.
So, cheerio. *eyeroll*
