gollark: > An Validation is either a value of the type err or a, similar to Either. However, the Applicative instance for Validation accumulates errors using a Semigroup on err. In contrast, the Applicative for Either returns only the first error.> A consequence of this is that Validation has no Bind or Monad instance. This is because such an instance would violate the law that a Monad's ap must equal the Applicative's <*>
