# TardisT

![build status](https://github.com/DanBurton/tardis/actions/workflows/haskell.yml/badge.svg?branch=master)

The State monad allows you
to send information forwards to the future,
or to receive such information from the past.
The Reverse State monad allows you to do the reverse:
send information backwards to the past,
or receive information from the future. 

TardisT is a monad transformer
that provides state operations that allow you
to send information to both the future *and* the past,
as well as receive information from both directions.
It is isomorphic to a StateT on top of a ReverseStateT,
or vice-versa.

See test/Example.hs for an example.

This was inspired by Luke Palmer's blog post on
the "reverse state monad".
