Monad Transformer Stack Support #257

@stud1999

Description

@stud1999

Implement Monad Transformers to enable stacking multiple monadic effects (Option, Result, Async, State, Reader, Writer) in a composable way. This solves the problem of nested monads and provides a unified interface for multi-effect computations.

Technical Details:

  • OptionT, ResultT, AsyncT transformers
  • StateT for threading state through computations
  • ReaderT for dependency injection pattern
  • WriterT for logging accumulation
  • Lift operation to access underlying monads
  • Mtl-style type classes for effect abstraction
  • Integration with existing effect builders

Use Cases:

  • Complex business logic with multiple effects
  • Async error handling with logging
  • State management in async workflows
  • Dependency injection with error handling
  • Testing with mock environments
  • Layered application architecture

Implementation Challenges:

  • Type inference explosion
  • Performance overhead of nesting
  • Complex type signatures
  • Limited Python type system features
  • Integration with effect builders
