isalphanum :: char -> bool isalphanum = (||) <$> isalpha <*> isnum
i can see works, don't understand instances of applicative (or functor) come from.
is mutual go such effort create functions point-free?
this applicative instance ((->) r), functions mutual type. combines functions same first argument type single function duplicating single argument utilize of them. (<$>) function composition, pure const, , here's (<*>) translates to:
s :: (r -> -> b) -> (r -> a) -> r -> b s f g x = f x (g x) this function perhaps improve known the s combinator.
the ((->) r) functor reader monad, shared argument "environment" value, e.g.:
newtype reader r = reader (r -> a) i wouldn't it's common sake of making functions point-free, in cases can improve clarity 1 time you're used idiom. illustration gave, instance, can read meaning "is character letter or number".
