scalaz

Offers a coherent inheritance structure for abstractions like Functor and Monad, ensuring lawful implementations and composable code, as highlighted in the README's emphasis on foundational type classes.

Organized into separate modules (core, effect, iteratee) and allows a-la-carte syntax imports via `scalaz.syntax`, reducing namespace pollution and dependency bloat.

Type classes can be used directly without implicit conversions, supporting cleaner abstraction and reduced runtime overhead, with examples like `Monad[Option]` for standalone calls.

Provides structures like NonEmptyList and monad transformers (e.g., OptionT) that enforce referential transparency, enhancing code safety and predictability in functional pipelines.
