I have a naive question about using type class in scala 3. So I defined a Functor
and an Applicative
trait in the standard way
trait Functor[F[_]]:
extension[T] (f: F[T])
def fmap[S](g: T => S): F[S]
trait Applicative[A[_]] extends Functor[A] :
def pure[S](s: S): A[S]
extension[T] (a: A[T])
infix def <*>[S](f: A[T => S]): A[S]
Then I am trying to add given instance that needs some other applicative:
given[A[_]: Applicative]: Applicative[[T] =>> Foo[A, T]] with
override def pure[T](t: T): Foo[A, T] = Foo(pure(t))
// ... rest omitted
where Foo
accepts a A[T]
. But the above code resolves pure(t)
to the pure
being defined, rather than the pure
available from A[_]: Applicative
. How can I provide a hint so resolution goes to the right function?
BTW, I wish I could use map
instead of fmap
for Functor
. But doing that would prevent me from calling the standard map
method if I want to provide given
instances for, say List
. Is there a way to work around this?

override def pure[T](t: T): Foo[A, T] = Foo(ev.pure(t))

I was trying to convince scala 3 to recusrively flatten nested Either
s of some unknown depth but couldn’t figure out how to do it.
I got a match type that describes the expected output type:
case class Inv[T]()
type FlattenR[X] = Inv[X] match
case Inv[Either[ValidationError, x]] => FlattenR[x]
case Inv[x] => Either[ValidationError, x]
but couldn’t figure out a way around erasure to implement it at the value level?
