scalaz support

[jtjeferreira]

Hi. Thanks for the great work. I discovered checklist when searching for an alternative for ValidationNel with support for soft errors, which is a very compelling use case.

However my code base is based in scalaz, so I have forked and ported checklist to scalaz in this branch

Would you be interested in this?

Abstracting over the two FP libraries is a possibility. Personally all of my code is Cats-based now but there's no harm in looking into making a back-end-independent build.

We'd need custom type classes to replace MonadError and a way of abstracting over Ior and \&/. There's a big of discussion of that forthcoming in issue #2.

I will keep a look in #2...

Regarding scalaz vs cats, please note that monocle still depends on scalaz[1], so checklist brings both cats and scalaz which is not perfect.

Understood. Number of libraries doesn't bother me, personally, but I understand your concern. IIUC a port of Monocle to Cats is underway so this should be a temporary situation.

Looks like Monocle is moving to cats, so that makes favoring cats seem even more likely. I believe their RC is out now.

I think providing instances for scalaz typeclasses can be provided by us via a separate module, but I'm not sure how helpful it'd be provided the existence of shims.

[davegurnell]

Sorry for my radio silence on this. Shipping two libraries should be straightforward if we have our own data structure for storing results. I've not played with shims. It sounds like one more level of indirection than we need. I'm not adverse to it though!
