Hey Guys, I was working on docs for

Apply

, but I am not sure of the practicality of

Apply

in

Arrow

, most functions etc, we use are build on top of

Applicative

or

Functor

. I could not find anything theoretically substantial to promote using

Functor

over

Apply

in some general use cases. Data types like

Map

have valid

Apply

instances, but no

Applicative

. Most of the typeclass machinery in Arrow is build on top of either

Functor

or

Applicative

. My question is: Can we delete Apply, because it may have instances for any DT that has an

Applicative

, but there is nothing we can do with an

Apply

, because the

Functor

has more to offer.

Apply on map is a good use case since map frequently shows up in generic encoders and decoders for serialization
