Combinators open up an opportunity to depict computation problems in terms of fundamental elements. It delivers powerful patterns for functional programming and make a bridge to the way humans think, allowing anyone to represent anything using structured symbolic expressions. Letβs advance these patterns towards the Golang type system and define combinators over types and their instances to derive complex structures of type T. There are 7 patterns to consider and express their semantic with Golang despite a fact that Golang type system is less powerful and does not support type classes. In the end, combinators are fundamentally computational constructs.
