I made myself a style ZipVector Applicativeon the finite Vector, which uses the sum type to glue the finite vectors in Unit, which model the "infinite" vectors.
data ZipVector a = Unit a | ZipVector (Vector a)
deriving (Show, Eq)
instance Functor ZipVector where
fmap f (Unit a) = Unit (f a)
fmap f (ZipVector va) = ZipVector (fmap f va)
instance Applicative ZipVector where
pure = Unit
Unit f <*> p = fmap f p
pf <*> Unit x = fmap ($ x) pf
ZipVector vf <*> ZipVector vx = ZipVector $ V.zipWith ($) vf vx
This will probably be enough for my needs, but I just wanted the "Fixed Size" to be modeled in applicative instances that you can get with the dependent "Vector" types.
data Point d a = Point (Vector a) deriving (Show, Eq)
instance Functor (Point d) where
fmap f (Point va) = Point (fmap f va)
instance Applicative Point where
pure = Vector.replicate reifiedDimension
Point vf <*> Point vx = Point $ V.zipWith ($) vf vx
where the dphantom parameter is a type Nat. How can I (if possible) write reifiedDimensionin Haskell? Moreover, if possible, provided (Point v1) :: Point d1 aand (Point v2) :: Point d2 ahow can I receive length v1 == length v2, can I receive d1 ~ d2?
