Compose two functors F and G.
Compose two functors F and G.
This allows you to inline what would otherwise require a type alias.
Consider the method
def method[F[_]]: Unit = ()
Calling method with a simple type is easy:
method[Option]Calling method with a nested type is more complicated. The traditional way to do this is to use an alias:
type ListOption[A] = List[Option[A]] method[ListOption]
This type provides a convenient (maybe?) way to inline the above type:
method[(List ∘ Option)#λ]
Note: If you have the kind projector plugin enabled, this alias is equivalent to:
method[λ[α => List[Option[α]]]]
