Christian Kjær Tehnix

You can naturally extend the intuition of a functor to Applicative, and from there to a monad.

An explanation might go as follows:

Let's say I have a list of numbers and want to add 2 to each. I'd 
write fmap (+2) [1..10]. But what if I had two lists of numbers and 
wanted to add each number from the first to each number from the second? 
Well, with Applicative, you can do that - it's like fmap, but with 
multiple arguments. You just write (+) &lt;$&gt; [1..10] &lt;*&gt; [11..20].

Motivation

We are currently running a somewhat half-assed IRC<->Slack integration which clutters the messages, from Slack->IRC, with '_: message'. This makes the backlog a bit tedious to read.

The IRC<->Slack integration also lacks support for some of the Slack features, like image uploading etc (i.e. there's no notification in IRC when an image is uploaded to Slack).

Proposal

The proposal is then to move to Slack entirely, and use their IRC Gateway for the people that prefer to use their IRC clients instead of the Slack client (which includes myself, terminals <3).
