sealed abstract class AndThen[-T, +R] extends (T) ⇒ R with Product with Serializable

A function type of a single input that can do function composition (via andThen and compose) in constant stack space with amortized linear time application (in the number of constituent functions).

Example:

val seed = AndThen((x: Int) => x + 1)
val f = (0 until 10000).foldLeft(seed)((acc, _) => acc.andThen(_ + 1))

// This should not trigger stack overflow ;-)
f(0)

This can be used to build stack safe data structures that make use of lambdas. The perfect candidates for usage with AndThen are the data structures using a signature like this (where F[_] is a monadic type):

A => F[B]

As an example, if we described this data structure, the naive solution for that map is stack unsafe:

case class Resource[F[_], A, B](
  acquire: F[A],
  use: A => F[B],
  release: A => F[Unit]) {

  def flatMap[C](f: B => C)(implicit F: Functor[F]): Resource[F, A, C] = {
    Resource(
      ra.acquire,
      // Stack Unsafe!
      a => ra.use(a).map(f),
      ra.release)
  }
}

To describe a flatMap operation for this data type, AndThen can save the day:

def flatMap[C](f: B => C)(implicit F: Functor[F]): Resource[F, A, C] = {
  Resource(
    ra.acquire,
    AndThen(ra.use).andThen(_.map(f)),
    ra.release)
}
