Haskell High Performance Programming

Working with monads and transformers

The libraries in this subsection are as follows:

• lifted-base, stm-lifted: Lifting IO operations to arbitrary monad stacks
• monad-control: Lifting general control operations to any monad (provides liftBaseWith)
• monad-logger: Adding high-performance and flexible logging facilities to any monad
• LogicT: A backtracking logic programming monad
• monad-unlift: Provides more reliable state-saving in monad transformer stacks for a subset of transformers (specifically, monad morphisms)
• monad-loops: Monad combinators that map, iterate, fold, and unfold with monadic side effects

For choice and considerations of monads and transformers themselves, refer to the discussion in Chapter 2, Choose the Correct Data Structures. Logging with ...
