The main purpose of Tilde_f is make code with a lot of nested function arguments more readable. The following expression:

E1 ~f:(fun w ->
  E2 ~f:(fun x ->
    E3 ~f:(fun y ->
      E4 ~f:(fun z ->
        E5))))

can be written:

Tilde_f.run
  (let open Tilde_f.Let_syntax in
   let%bind w = E1 in
   let%bind x = E2 in
   let%bind y = E3 in
   let%bind z = E4 in
   return E5)

type ('f_in, 'ret, 'f_out) t := f:('f_in -> 'f_out) -> 'ret

A higher order function whose argument is labelled ~f. Here are a few examples:

val Deferred.bind : 'a Deferred.t -> ('a, 'b Deferred.t, 'b Deferred.t) Tilde_f.t
val List.init : int -> (int, 'a list, int) Tilde_f.t
val List.iter : 'a list -> ('a, unit, unit) Tilde_f.t
val Option.value_map : 'a option -> default:'b -> ('a, 'b, 'b) Tilde_f.t

The Tilde_f monad is harder to explain than to demonstrate. See the documentation at the top of this module for an explanation of how to use it.

include Base.Monad.S_indexed
  with type ('f_in, 'ret, 'f_out) t := ('f_in, 'ret, 'f_out) t

val (>>=) : ('a, 'i, 'j) t -> ('a -> ('b, 'j, 'k) t) -> ('b, 'i, 'k) t

val (>>|) : ('a, 'i, 'j) t -> ('a -> 'b) -> ('b, 'i, 'j) t

val bind : ('a, 'i, 'j) t -> f:('a -> ('b, 'j, 'k) t) -> ('b, 'i, 'k) t

val return : 'a -> ('a, 'i, 'i) t

val map : ('a, 'i, 'j) t -> f:('a -> 'b) -> ('b, 'i, 'j) t

val join : (('a, 'j, 'k) t, 'i, 'j) t -> ('a, 'i, 'k) t

val ignore_m : ('a, 'i, 'j) t -> (unit, 'i, 'j) t

val all : ('a, 'i, 'i) t list -> ('a list, 'i, 'i) t

val all_unit : (unit, 'i, 'i) t list -> (unit, 'i, 'i) t

val run : (f:('a -> 'a) -> 'b) -> 'b

run t is t ~f:Fn.id.

val of_curried : (f:('a -> 'b -> 'c) -> 'd) -> f:(('a * 'b) -> 'c) -> 'd

Use curried to adapt a function that passes two arguments to its ~f. For example:

let%bind x, y = Tilde_f.of_curried (List.map2 lst1 lst2) in
f x y

val of_unlabeled : (('a -> 'b) -> 'c) -> f:('a -> 'b) -> 'c

Use of_unlabeled to adapt a function that would have the right type for Tilde_f if only its function argument was labeled. For example:

val Tilde_f.of_unlabeled Or_error.try_with : (unit, 'a Or_error.t, 'a) Tilde_f.t
val Tilde_f.of_unlabeled Deferred.create : ('a Ivar.t, 'a Deferred.t, unit) Tilde_f.t

val of_local : (f:('a -> 'b) -> 'c) -> f:('a -> 'b) -> 'c

Use of_local to adapt a function that would have the right type for Tilde_f except that its parameter is local.

val of_local_k : ('a -> f:('b -> 'c) -> 'd) -> 'a -> f:('b -> 'c) -> 'd

Use of_local_k to adapt a function that would have the right type for Tilde_f.bind except that its parameter is local. (k is for Kleisli, which refers to a function whose type is of the form 'a -> 'b M.t.)
