well, i didnt knew it was new, but , yes, that's it.

ive read some paper on parser combinator, and as im working with haxml, id like to
have some of my stuuf done in the same style,

then i realize i had a tendency to design function that reacted on data (itself),
rather than combinators.
(probably too mucj of "old stuff in my head ;-)

so i would like to backstep , and look at combinator as such , and not applied in
a given context (liker parser or haxml))
which example i can understand, but not easily change my style of programming
accordingly.

so,  reformulation : has anyone know a paper like :
"change ure mindset from data oriented programming to combinators one " ?

explanation ?
