gollark: Functor: has `map`, lets you run an `a → b` over a `f a` to get a `f b`Applicative: has `<*>`, lets you run a `f (a → b)` over a `f a` to get a `f b` and `pure`, which lets you get a `f a` from an `a`Monad: has `join`, which does `f (f a)) → f a` or alternately `bind`, which is `f a → (a → f b) → f b`.
gollark: Ah yes.
gollark: An applicative is a functor with, er, `<*>` or something.
gollark: A monad is an applicative with bind/join.
