One way to use either, and it's built in a syntax. And what we're finding with syntax like that is that we could learn how to use these things in general and build a syntax that works with whatever all of them. We keep specializing and fixing to one specific thing and then it adds to syntax noise and learning, taxes.

And I'd much prefer staying general and just working with these types cuz you only need like, five or six functions to just do anything. And that's as we'll see before the days up like chain map fold traverse, concat like these are the things that capture almost anything you'll ever have to do.

And these these contexts these these types, they actually stack and compose themselves. So, I hesitate to adopt new syntax unless it's really going to solve a general problem. All right, lets jump in, here is our front run function, is not written as cleverly with the [LAUGH]
