This web site is an online appendix for a paper The F# Computation Expression Zoo. It complements the theory discussed in the paper, with a complete source code for all sample computations that are used in the paper.
The commented source code can be viewed in the left pannel. However, it is also possible to run the code samples using an Interactive F# console based on the Try F# project. The console is based on Silverlight, which is currently available for Windows and Mac. On Linux, it is possible to run the samples using Mono.
Functional monads and laws discusses the definition of computation expression for a monad in terms of bind and return and shows syntactic equalities that correspond to well-known monad laws.
Sequencing of monads shows how (untracked) effects can be handled in computation expressions. The section shows both approaches - for monadic containers and for monadic computations.
Monadic control flow extends the previous definitions of
a monad with additional control flow constructs including for and while loops and
exception handling constructs.
Additive parsers shows one alternative syntax for working with computations that are monadic and monoidal at the same time. The syntax is demonstrated using parser combinators.
Additive sequences shows an alternative syntax for working with monadic and monoidal computation. The syntax emphasizes the monoidal structure and is demonstrated using lists.
Layered monads demonstrates a computation expression that can be used to work with computations that are formed by composing monads. The example is based on monad transformers known from Haskell.
