Effects: Extensible Effects with Freer Monads

Effects is an implementation of “Freer Monads, More Extensible Effects”. Much of the implementation is a repackaging and cleaning up of the reference materials provided here.

Features

The key features of Effects are:

• An efficient effect system for Haskell as a library
• Implementations for several common Haskell monad instances:
  • Reader
  • Writer
  • State
  • StateRW: State in terms of Reader/Writer
  • Trace
  • Exception
• Core components for defining your own Effects

Example: Teletype DSL

Here’s what using Effects looks like:

{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
module Teletype where

import Control.Monad.Effect
import Control.Monad.Effect.Internal
import System.Exit hiding (ExitSuccess)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          -- Effect Model --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
data Teletype s where
  PutStrLn    :: String -> Teletype ()
  GetLine     :: Teletype String
  ExitSuccess :: Teletype ()

putStrLn' :: Member Teletype r => String -> Eff r ()
putStrLn' = send . PutStrLn

getLine'  :: Member Teletype r => Eff r String
getLine' = send GetLine

exitSuccess' :: Member Teletype r => Eff r ()
exitSuccess' = send ExitSuccess

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     -- Effectful Interpreter --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
runTeletype :: Eff '[Teletype] w -> IO w
runTeletype (Val x) = return x
runTeletype (E u q) = case decompose u of
              Right (PutStrLn msg) -> putStrLn msg  >> runTeletype (apply q ())
              Right GetLine        -> getLine      >>= \s -> runTeletype (apply q s)
              Right ExitSuccess    -> exitSuccess
              Left  _              -> error "This cannot happen"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        -- Pure Interpreter --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
runTeletypePure :: [String] -> Eff '[Teletype] w -> [String]
runTeletypePure inputs req = reverse (go inputs req [])
  where go :: [String] -> Eff '[Teletype] w -> [String] -> [String]
        go _      (Val _) acc = acc
        go []     _       acc = acc
        go (x:xs) (E u q) acc = case decompose u of
          Right (PutStrLn msg) -> go (x:xs) (apply q ()) (msg:acc)
          Right GetLine        -> go xs     (apply q x) acc
          Right ExitSuccess    -> go xs     (Val ())   acc
          Left _               -> go xs     (Val ())   acc

Be sure to review the included code of conduct. This project adheres to the Contributor’s Covenant. By participating in this project you agree to abide by its terms.

Developer Setup

The easiest way to start contributing is to install stack. stack can install GHC/Haskell for you, and automates common developer tasks.

The key commands are:

• stack setup : install GHC
• stack build
• stack clean
• stack haddock : builds documentation
• stack test
• stack bench
• stack ghci : start a REPL instance

Acknowledgements

This package would not be possible without the paper and the reference implementation. In particular:

• Data.Union maps to OpenUnion51.hs
• Data.FTCQueue maps to FTCQueue1
• Control.Monad.Effect* maps to Eff1.hs

There will be deviations from the source.
