I am Software Developer, currently interested in static type languages (TypeScript, Elm, ReScript) mostly in the frontend land, but working actively in Python also. I am available for mentoring.
There's indeed more to Applicative (as well as Functors, Monads, et al). Specially if one gets in the theoretical side. Which is useful. But as a developer all I want is to be able to have the necessary intuition to use it in practice, right?

Very good article. There are a lot of issues in many publications about Applicative, they show it with relation with Monad, or get into A from M.
Showing this just as a Functor with additional powers, possibility to apply n-unary functions is much much better approach.
Tnx.
Thanks Maciej!
