Result of a continuation and running code after resuming - Polysemy

Hi all, I've looked around this Zulip and the Polysemy repo, but I can't figure out how to write the following Koka program with Polysemy:

fun show(p : (int, list<int>)) : string
  show-tuple(p, show, show)

effect state<s>
  ctl get() : s
  ctl put(s : s) : ()

fun comp() : <state<int>> int
  val x = get()
  put(x + 1 : int)
  val y = get()
  put(y + y : int)
  get()

fun logState(init : s, action : () -> <state<s>> a) : <div> (a, list<s>)
  var s := init
  with handler
    return(x) -> (x, [])
    ctl get() -> resume(s)
    ctl put(s') -> {s := s'; val (x, ss) = resume(()); (x, Cons(s', ss))}
  action()

which results in:

> logState(2, comp)
check  : interactive
check  : interactive
linking: interactive
created: .koka/v2.4.0/gcc-debug/interactive

(6,[3,6])

The important bits of logState are (i) the use of the result of the computation through the return value of resume and (ii) the bit of code after the call to the resumption. The use of local state (var) isn't important here.

Sorry, I should have made clear that this is an illustrative example :P The points (i) and (ii) are what I need, in my actual use case I do more complicated things than append/cons to a list.

This is the best I've been able to do (in fused-effects, sorry xD):

module AfterResume where

import Control.Algebra (Algebra (..), Has, send, type (:+:) (..))
import Control.Carrier.Lift (Lift, runM, sendIO)
import Data.Kind (Type)
import Data.Type.Equality ()

data After (m :: Type -> Type) k where
  After :: String -> After m ()

after :: Has After sig m => String -> m ()
after s = send (After s)

newtype AfterC m a = AfterC {runAfterC :: forall b. (a -> m b) -> m b}
  deriving (Functor)

instance Applicative m => Applicative (AfterC m) where
  pure a = AfterC ($ a)
  AfterC f <*> AfterC v = AfterC $ \c -> f $ \g -> v (c . g)

instance Monad m => Monad (AfterC m) where
  return x = AfterC ($ x)
  m >>= k = AfterC $ \c -> runAfterC m (\x -> runAfterC (k x) c)

evalAfterC :: (Monad m) => AfterC m r -> m r
evalAfterC m = runAfterC m return

lift :: (Monad m) => m a -> AfterC m a
lift m = AfterC (m >>=)

resetT :: (Monad m) => AfterC m r -> AfterC m r
resetT = lift . evalAfterC

shiftT :: Monad m => (forall b. (a -> m b) -> AfterC m b) -> AfterC m a
shiftT f = AfterC (evalAfterC . f)

instance (Has (Lift IO) sig m, Algebra sig m) => Algebra (After :+: sig) (AfterC m) where
  alg hdl sig ctx = case sig of
    L (After s) -> shiftT (\k -> lift $ do
        res <- k (() <$ ctx)
        sendIO (putStrLn s)
        return res
      )
    R other -> lift $ alg (evalAfterC . hdl) other ctx

test :: (Has After sig m, Has (Lift IO) sig m) => m ()
test = do
  traceM "0"
  sendIO (putStrLn "a")
  after "a"
  traceM "1"
  sendIO (putStrLn "b")
  after "b"
  traceM "2"
  return ()

runTest :: IO ()
runTest = do
  runM . evalAfterC $ test

which produces:

0
a
1
b
2
b
a

as desired.

Is this the "right" way to do point (ii)?

Jesse Sigal

The monad carrier is the Codensity monad, so it has delimited continuation operations which I use. But it feels like I must be doing something wrong. Can I somehow explicitly get the continuation for the rest of the computation without using a continuation type monad as the carrier?

Jesse Sigal

Unfortunately, due to the universal quantification of b in AfterC, I can't do anything with the result really. So this doesn't solve point (i).
