In case you haven't heard me say it, *Maybe is a data structure*. Things like map and andThen make a lot of sense in that context. Now it's not a bad thing to look at those patterns in a simple example, before getting into things like JSON decoders and random generators that don't actually contain the value they're going to produce when you map over them. But -- and it sounds like this is the plan -- make sure you present it as, "these are examples of patterns that we'll see recur for more complex types", not "this is what you need to know to understand Maybe". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
