Monads and comonads succinctly structure computation: monads describe effects e.g. input/output, comonads describe contextual computations e.g. dataflow/stream computations. Recently, comonads and monads have been combined for applications such as partial streams or combining intensional and extensional semantics. This paper furthers work on the interaction of comonads and monads via distributive laws and the Kleisli category construction on monads and comonads. I introduce extension in the ``biKleisli’’ category, providing combinators analogous to the (co)extend operation of a (co)monad which is useful for practical programming with combinations of comonads and monad. In this talk I introduce the concepts involved, the new extension operation on BiKleisli categories, and show a few examples.

This is work in progress. This talk is part of the ICFP PC Functional Programming Workshop.
