final class Always[A] extends Eval[A]

Construct a lazy Eval[A] instance.

This type can be used for "lazy" values. In some sense it is equivalent to using a Function0 value.

This type will evaluate the computation every time the value is required. It should be avoided except when laziness is required and caching must be avoided. Generally, prefer Later.

    Lazily perform a computation based on an Eval[A], using the function f to produce an Eval[B] given an A.

    Lazily perform a computation based on an Eval[A], using the function f to produce an Eval[B] given an A.

    This call is stack-safe -- many .flatMap calls may be chained without consumed additional stack during evaluation. It is also written to avoid left-association problems, so that repeated calls to .flatMap will be efficiently applied.

    Computation performed in f is always lazy, even when called on an eager (Now) instance.

    Ensure that the result of the computation (if any) will be memoized.

    Practically, this means that when called on an Always[A] a Later[A] with an equivalent computation will be returned.

    For lazy instances (Later, Always), any necessary computation will be performed at this point. For eager instances (Now), a value will be immediately returned.
