I have read through your paper once and found your work to be quite interesting — perhaps not so practical at the moment and with the current implementation, but of genuine value for helping users learn what are normally more abstract parts of functional programming. I will go through it again tonight if I can and provide some comments. I am still relatively new at Haskell and the more abstract parts of functional programming, but work like this helps me make sense of it. I had to bash myself in the head many times before monads made sense to me, and I’m sure arrows will be the same way.

One of these days I’ve got to see if I can get to one of the FP conferences! As a practitioner I’m particularly interesting in practical applications.
