Monad

All it takes to be a Monad is to provide two functions which conform to three laws.

The two functions:

  1. Place a value into monadic context
  • Haskell's Maybe: return / Just
  • Scala's Option: Some

Emulating "self types" using Java Generics to simplify fluent API implementation

http://passion.forco.de/content/emulating-self-types-using-java-generics-simplif...

The Java programming language does not support the notion of "self types", that is "type of this". When implementing fluent APIs, this lack of support can lead to significant duplication of boilerplate code. Taking FEST Assertions as an example, this article shows how "self types" can be emulated in Java using Generics.

Why bother?

Differences between declaration-site and use-site variance

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4231305/how-does-javas-use-site-variance-compare-to-cs-declaration-site-variance

First off, use-site variance is strictly more powerful than declaration-site variance (although at the cost of concision), or at least Java's wildcards are (which are actually more powerful than use-site variance). This increased power is particularly useful for languages in which stateful constructs are used heavily, such as C# and Java (but Scala much less so, especially since it's standard lists are immutable).
