Re:Parse, Don't Validate (2019) by dwohnitmok on Tuesday March 07, 2023 @05:48PM (#35062416)
This doesn't really work because you still end up needing specific types for the output of every "parser" you have and then you still need a way of combining those types together.

Or you get the ability to forge evidence (e.g. you use the evidence provided by a parser for one integer as evidence for another).

This works better for dependency injection scenarios (the Has* pattern).
