 fp-go follows the **"data last"** principle, where the data being operated on is always the last parameter in a function. This design choice enables powerful function composition and partial application patterns.
 
+This principle is deeply rooted in functional programming tradition, particularly in **Haskell's design philosophy**. Haskell functions are automatically curried and follow the data-last convention, making function composition natural and elegant. For example, Haskell's `map` function has the signature `(a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]`, where the transformation function comes before the list.

+// Concat concatenates two arrays, appending the provided array to the end of the input array.
+// This is a curried function that takes an array to append and returns a function that
+// takes the base array and returns the concatenated result.
+//
+// The function creates a new array containing all elements from the base array followed
+// by all elements from the appended array. Neither input array is modified.
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - A: The type of elements in the arrays
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - as: The array to append to the end of the base array
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A function that takes a base array and returns a new array with `as` appended to its end
+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - Creates a new array with length equal to the sum of both input arrays
+//   - Copies all elements from the base array first
+//   - Appends all elements from the `as` array at the end
+//   - Returns the base array unchanged if `as` is empty
+//   - Returns `as` unchanged if the base array is empty
+//   - Does not modify either input array
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	base := []int{1, 2, 3}

+// BuilderPrism creates a [Prism] that converts between a builder and its built type.
+//
+// A Prism is an optic that focuses on a case of a sum type, providing bidirectional
+// conversion with the possibility of failure. This function creates a prism that:
+//   - Extracts: Attempts to build the object from the builder (may fail)
+//   - Constructs: Creates a builder from a valid object (always succeeds)
+//
+// The extraction direction (builder -> object) uses the Build method and converts
+// the Result to an Option, where errors become None. The construction direction
+// (object -> builder) uses the provided creator function.
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - T: The type of the object being built
+//   - B: The builder type that implements Builder[T]
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - creator: A function that creates a builder from a valid object of type T.
+//     This function should initialize the builder with all fields from the object.

+// handleSuccessOnClosed creates a Reader that handles successful requests when the circuit is closed.
+// This function is used to update the circuit breaker state after a successful operation completes
+// while the circuit is in the closed state.
 //
-// This function is part of the circuit breaker's state management for the closed state.
-// When a request succeeds in closed state:
-//  1. The current time is obtained
-//  2. The addSuccess function is called with the current time to update the ClosedState
-//  3. The updated ClosedState is wrapped in a Right (closed) BreakerState
-//  4. The breaker state is modified with the new state
+// The function takes a Reader that adds a success record to the ClosedState and lifts it to work
+// with BreakerState by mapping over the Right (closed) side of the Either type. This ensures that
+// success tracking only affects the closed state and leaves any open state unchanged.
 //
 // Parameters:
-//   - currentTime: An IO operation that provides the current time
-//   - addSuccess: A Reader that takes a time and returns an endomorphism for ClosedState,
-//     typically resetting failure counters or history
+//   - addSuccess: A Reader that takes the current time and returns an Endomorphism that updates
+//     the ClosedState by recording a successful operation. This typically increments a success
+//     counter or updates a success history.
 //
 // Returns:
-//   - An io.Kleisli that takes another io.Kleisli and chains them together.
-//     The outer Kleisli takes an Endomorphism[BreakerState] and returns BreakerState.
-//     This allows composing the success handling with other state modifications.

 //
-// This function is part of the circuit breaker's state management for the closed state.
-// When a request fails in closed state:
-//  1. The current time is obtained
-//  2. The addError function is called to record the failure in the ClosedState
-//  3. The checkClosedState function is called to determine if the failure threshold is exceeded
-//  4. If the threshold is exceeded (Check returns None):
-//     - The circuit transitions to open state using openCircuit
-//     - A new openState is created with resetAt time calculated from the retry policy
-//  5. If the threshold is not exceeded (Check returns Some):
-//     - The circuit remains closed with the updated failure tracking
+// The function orchestrates three key operations:
+//  1. Records the failure in the ClosedState using addError
+//  2. Checks if the failure threshold has been exceeded using checkClosedState
+//  3. If threshold exceeded, opens the circuit; otherwise, keeps it closed with updated error count
+//
+// The decision flow is:
+//   - Add the error to the closed state's error tracking
+//   - Check if the updated closed state exceeds the failure threshold
+//   - If threshold exceeded (checkClosedState returns None):
+//   - Create a new openState with calculated reset time based on retry policy
+//   - Transition the circuit to open state (Left side of Either)
+//   - If threshold not exceeded (checkClosedState returns Some):
+//   - Keep the circuit closed with the updated error count

 //
 // Parameters:
-//   - currentTime: An IO operation that provides the current time
-//   - addError: A Reader that takes a time and returns an endomorphism for ClosedState,
-//     recording a failure (incrementing counter or adding to history)
-//   - checkClosedState: A Reader that takes a time and returns an option.Kleisli that checks
-//     if the ClosedState should remain closed. Returns Some if circuit stays closed, None if it should open.
-//   - openCircuit: A Reader that takes a time and returns an openState with calculated resetAt time
+//   - addError: A Reader that takes the current time and returns an Endomorphism that updates
+//     the ClosedState by recording a failed operation. This typically increments an error
+//     counter or adds to an error history.
+//   - checkClosedState: A Reader that takes the current time and returns an option.Kleisli that
+//     validates whether the ClosedState is still within acceptable failure thresholds.
+//     Returns Some(ClosedState) if threshold not exceeded, None if threshold exceeded.
+//   - openCircuit: A Reader that takes the current time and creates a new openState with

+// ReadIO executes a ReaderIO computation by providing a context wrapped in an IO effect.
+// This is useful when the context itself needs to be computed or retrieved through side effects.
+//
+// The function takes an IO[context.Context] (an effectful computation that produces a context) and returns
+// a function that can execute a ReaderIO[A] to produce an IO[A].
+//
+// This is particularly useful in scenarios where:
+//   - The context needs to be created with side effects (e.g., loading configuration)
+//   - The context requires initialization or setup
+//   - You want to compose context creation with the computation that uses it
+//
+// The execution flow is:
+//  1. Execute the IO[context.Context] to get the context
+//  2. Pass the context to the ReaderIO[A] to get an IO[A]
+//  3. Execute the resulting IO[A] to get the final result A

+// TailRec converts a tail-recursive Kleisli arrow into a stack-safe iterative computation.
+//
+// This function enables writing recursive algorithms in a functional style while avoiding
+// stack overflow errors. It takes a Kleisli arrow that returns a Trampoline wrapped in Either,
+// and converts it into a regular Kleisli arrow that executes the recursion iteratively.
+//
+// The function handles both success and failure cases:
+//   - If any step returns Left[E], the recursion stops and returns that error
+//   - If a step returns Right with Landed=true, the final result is returned
+//   - If a step returns Right with Landed=false, recursion continues with the bounced value
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - E: The error type (Left case)
+//   - A: The input type for each recursive step
+//   - B: The final result type (Right case)
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - f: A Kleisli arrow that takes an input of type A and returns Either[E, Trampoline[A, B]]
+//     The Trampoline indicates whether to continue (Bounce) or terminate (Land)
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A Kleisli arrow that executes the tail recursion iteratively and returns Either[E, B]
+//
+// Example - Factorial with error handling:
+//
+//	type State struct { n, acc int }

+// Package file provides functional programming utilities for working with file paths
+// and I/O interfaces in Go.
+//
+// # Overview
+//
+// This package offers a collection of utility functions designed to work seamlessly
+// with functional programming patterns, particularly with the fp-go library's pipe
+// and composition utilities.
+//
+// # Path Manipulation
+//
+// The Join function provides a curried approach to path joining, making it easy to
+// create reusable path builders:
+//
+//	import (
+//	    F "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+//	    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/file"
+//	)
+//
+//	// Create a reusable path builder
+//	addConfig := file.Join("config.json")
+//	configPath := addConfig("/etc/myapp")
+//	// Result: "/etc/myapp/config.json"
+//
+//	// Use in a functional pipeline
+//	logPath := F.Pipe1("/var/log", file.Join("app.log"))
+//	// Result: "/var/log/app.log"
+//
+//	// Chain multiple joins
+//	deepPath := F.Pipe2(
+//	    "/root",
+//	    file.Join("subdir"),
+//	    file.Join("file.txt"),
+//	)
+//	// Result: "/root/subdir/file.txt"
+//
+// # I/O Interface Conversions
+//
+// The package provides generic type conversion functions for common I/O interfaces.
+// These are useful for type erasure when you need to work with interface types
+// rather than concrete implementations:
+//
+//	import (
+//	    "bytes"
+//	    "io"
+//	    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/file"
+//	)
+//
+//	// Convert concrete types to interfaces
+//	buf := bytes.NewBuffer([]byte("hello"))
+//	var reader io.Reader = file.ToReader(buf)
+//
+//	writer := &bytes.Buffer{}
+//	var w io.Writer = file.ToWriter(writer)
+//
+//	f, _ := os.Open("file.txt")
+//	var closer io.Closer = file.ToCloser(f)
+//	defer closer.Close()
+//
+// # Design Philosophy
+//
+// The functions in this package follow functional programming principles:
+//
+//   - Currying: Functions like Join return functions, enabling partial application
+//   - Type Safety: Generic functions maintain type safety while providing flexibility
+//   - Composability: All functions work well with fp-go's pipe and composition utilities
+//   - Immutability: Functions don't modify their inputs
+//
+// # Performance
+//
+// The type conversion functions (ToReader, ToWriter, ToCloser) have zero overhead
+// as they simply return their input cast to the interface type. The Join function
+// uses Go's standard filepath.Join internally, ensuring cross-platform compatibility.

+// Memoize converts a unary function into a memoized version that caches computed values.
+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - On first call with a given input, the function executes and the result is cached
+//   - Subsequent calls with the same input return the cached result without re-execution
+//   - The cache uses the input parameter directly as the key (must be comparable)
+//   - The cache is thread-safe using mutex locks
+//   - The cache has no size limit and grows unbounded
+//   - Each unique input creates a new cache entry that persists for the lifetime of the memoized function
+//
+// Implementation Details:
+//   - Uses an internal map[K]func()T to store lazy values
+//   - The cached value is wrapped in a lazy function to defer computation until needed
+//   - Lock is held only to access the cache map, not during value computation
+//   - This allows concurrent computations for different keys
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - K: The type of the function parameter, must be comparable (used as cache key)
+//   - T: The return type of the function
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - f: The function to memoize
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A memoized version of the function that caches results by parameter value
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	// Expensive computation
+//	expensiveCalc := func(n int) int {
+//	    time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
+//	    return n * n
+//	}
+//
+//	// Memoize to avoid redundant calculations
+//	memoized := Memoize(expensiveCalc)
+//	result1 := memoized(5) // Takes 100ms, computes and caches 25
+//	result2 := memoized(5) // Instant, returns cached 25
+//	result3 := memoized(10) // Takes 100ms, computes and caches 100
+//
+// Note: The cache grows unbounded. For bounded caches, use CacheCallback with a custom cache implementation.

-// ContramapMemoize converts a unary function into a unary function that caches the value depending on the parameter
+// ContramapMemoize creates a higher-order function that memoizes functions using a custom key extraction strategy.
+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - Allows caching based on a derived key rather than the full input parameter
+//   - The key extraction function (kf) determines what constitutes a cache hit
+//   - Two inputs that produce the same key will share the same cached result
+//   - This enables caching for non-comparable types by extracting comparable keys
+//   - The cache is thread-safe and unbounded
+//
+// Use Cases:
+//   - Cache by a subset of struct fields (e.g., User.ID instead of entire User)
+//   - Cache by a computed property (e.g., string length, hash value)
+//   - Normalize inputs before caching (e.g., lowercase strings, rounded numbers)
+//
+// Implementation Details:
+//   - Internally uses the same caching mechanism as Memoize
+//   - The key function is applied to each input before cache lookup
+//   - Returns a function transformer that can be applied to any function with matching signature
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - T: The return type of the function to be memoized
+//   - A: The input type of the function to be memoized
+//   - K: The type of the cache key, must be comparable
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - kf: A function that extracts a cache key from the input parameter
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A function that takes a function (A) -> T and returns its memoized version
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	type User struct {
+//	    ID   int
+//	    Name string
+//	    Email string
+//	}
+//
+//	// Cache by user ID only, ignoring other fields
+//	cacheByID := ContramapMemoize[string, User, int](func(u User) int {

+//	result2 := memoized(User{ID: 1, Name: "Bob", Email: "b@example.com"})   // Cached (same ID)

-// CacheCallback converts a unary function into a unary function that caches the value depending on the parameter
+// CacheCallback creates a higher-order function that memoizes functions using a custom cache implementation.
+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - Provides complete control over caching strategy through the getOrCreate callback
+//   - Separates cache key extraction (kf) from cache storage (getOrCreate)
+//   - The getOrCreate function receives a key and a lazy value generator
+//   - The cache implementation decides when to store, evict, or retrieve values
+//   - Enables advanced caching strategies: LRU, LFU, TTL, bounded size, etc.
+//
+// How It Works:
+//  1. When the memoized function is called with input A:
+//  2. The key function (kf) extracts a cache key K from A
+//  3. A lazy value generator is created that will compute f(A) when called
+//  4. The getOrCreate callback is invoked with the key and lazy generator
+//  5. The cache implementation returns a lazy value (either cached or newly created)
+//  6. The lazy value is evaluated to produce the final result T
+//
+// Cache Implementation Contract:
+//   - getOrCreate receives: (key K, generator func() func() T)
+//   - getOrCreate returns: func() T (a lazy value)
+//   - The generator creates a new lazy value when called
+//   - The cache should store and return lazy values, not final results
+//   - This allows deferred computation and proper lazy evaluation
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - T: The return type of the function to be memoized
+//   - A: The input type of the function to be memoized
+//   - K: The type of the cache key, must be comparable
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - kf: A function that extracts a cache key from the input parameter
+//   - getOrCreate: A cache implementation that stores and retrieves lazy values
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A function that takes a function (A) -> T and returns its memoized version
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	// Create a bounded LRU cache (max 100 items)
+//	lruCache := func() func(int, func() func() string) func() string {
+//	    cache := make(map[int]func() string)
+//	    keys := []int{}
+//	    var mu sync.Mutex

+//
+//	    return func(k int, gen func() func() string) func() string {
+//	        mu.Lock()
+//	        defer mu.Unlock()
+//
+//	        if existing, ok := cache[k]; ok {
+//	            return existing // Cache hit
+//	        }
+//
+//	        // Evict oldest if at capacity
+//	        if len(keys) >= maxSize {
+//	            delete(cache, keys[0])
+//	            keys = keys[1:]
+//	        }
+//
+//	        // Create and store new lazy value

+//	        cache[k] = value
+//	        keys = append(keys, k)
+//	        return value
+//	    }

-// SingleElementCache creates a cache function for use with the [CacheCallback] method that has a maximum capacity of one single item
+// SingleElementCache creates a thread-safe cache implementation that stores at most one element.
+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - Stores only the most recently accessed key-value pair
+//   - When a new key is accessed, it replaces the previous cached entry
+//   - If the same key is accessed again, the cached value is returned
+//   - Thread-safe: uses mutex to protect concurrent access
+//   - Memory-efficient: constant O(1) space regardless of usage
+//
+// How It Works:
+//  1. Initially, the cache is empty (hasKey = false)
+//  2. On first access with key K1:
+//     - Calls the generator to create a lazy value
+//     - Stores K1 and the lazy value
+//     - Returns the lazy value
+//  3. On subsequent access with same key K1:
+//     - Returns the stored lazy value without calling generator
+//  4. On access with different key K2:
+//     - Calls the generator to create a new lazy value
+//     - Replaces K1 with K2 and updates the stored lazy value
+//     - Returns the new lazy value
+//  5. If K1 is accessed again, it's treated as a new key (cache miss)
+//
+// Use Cases:
+//   - Sequential processing where the same key is accessed multiple times in a row
+//   - Memory-constrained environments where unbounded caches are not feasible
+//   - Scenarios where only the most recent computation needs caching
+//   - Testing or debugging with controlled cache behavior
+//
+// Important Notes:
+//   - The cache stores the lazy value (func() T), not the computed result
+//   - Each time the returned lazy value is called, it may recompute (depends on lazy implementation)
+//   - For true result caching, combine with lazy memoization (as done in CacheCallback)
+//   - Alternating between two keys will cause constant cache misses
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - K: The type of the cache key, must be comparable
+//   - T: The type of the cached value
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A cache function suitable for use with CacheCallback
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	// Create a single-element cache
+//	cache := SingleElementCache[int, string]()
+//
+//	// Use with CacheCallback
+//	memoizer := CacheCallback[string, int, int](
+//	    Identity[int],  // Use input as key
+//	    cache,
+//	)
+//
+//	expensiveFunc := func(n int) string {
+//	    time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
+//	    return fmt.Sprintf("Result: %d", n)
+//	}
+//
+//	memoized := memoizer(expensiveFunc)
+//	result1 := memoized(42) // Computed (100ms) and cached
+//	result2 := memoized(42) // Instant - returns cached value
+//	result3 := memoized(99) // Computed (100ms) - replaces cache entry for 42
+//	result4 := memoized(99) // Instant - returns cached value
+//	result5 := memoized(42) // Computed (100ms) - cache was replaced, must recompute
+//
+// Performance Characteristics:
+//   - Space: O(1) - stores exactly one key-value pair
+//   - Time: O(1) - cache lookup and update are constant time
+//   - Best case: Same key accessed repeatedly (100% hit rate)
+//   - Worst case: Alternating keys (0% hit rate)

+// Package form provides functional utilities for working with HTTP form data (url.Values).
+//
+// This package offers a functional approach to building and manipulating HTTP form data
+// using lenses, endomorphisms, and monoids. It enables immutable transformations of
+// url.Values through composable operations.
+//
+// # Core Concepts
+//
+// The package is built around several key abstractions:
+//   - Endomorphism: A function that transforms url.Values immutably
+//   - Lenses: Optics for focusing on specific form fields
+//   - Monoids: For combining form transformations and values
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+// Create form data by composing endomorphisms:
+//
+//	form := F.Pipe3(
+//	    form.Default,
+//	    form.WithValue("username")("john"),
+//	    form.WithValue("email")("john@example.com"),
+//	    form.WithValue("age")("30"),
+//	)
+//
+// Remove fields from forms:
+//
+//	updated := F.Pipe1(
+//	    form,
+//	    form.WithoutValue("age"),
+//	)
+//
+// # Lenses
+//
+// The package provides two main lenses:
+//   - AtValues: Focuses on all values of a form field ([]string)
+//   - AtValue: Focuses on the first value of a form field (Option[string])
+//
+// Use lenses to read and update form fields:
+//
+//	lens := form.AtValue("username")
+//	value := lens.Get(form)  // Returns Option[string]
+//	updated := lens.Set(O.Some("jane"))(form)
+//
+// # Monoids
+//
+// Combine multiple form transformations:
+//
+//	transform := form.Monoid.Concat(
+//	    form.WithValue("field1")("value1"),
+//	    form.WithValue("field2")("value2"),

+// lazy and only execute when the returned IO is invoked.
+//
+// # Core Operations
+//
+// The package provides two main operations:
+//   - Close: Safely close io.Closer resources
+//   - Remove: Remove files from the file system
+//
+// Both operations ignore errors and return the original input, making them
+// suitable for cleanup operations where errors should not interrupt the flow.
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+//	// Close a file
+//	file, _ := os.Open("data.txt")
+//	closeIO := file.Close(file)
+//	closeIO() // Closes the file, ignoring any error
+//
+//	// Remove a file
+//	removeIO := file.Remove("temp.txt")
+//	removeIO() // Removes the file, ignoring any error
+//
+// # Composition with IO
+//
+// These operations can be composed with other IO operations:
+//
+//	result := pipe.Pipe2(
+//	    openFile("data.txt"),
+//	    io.ChainFirst(processFile),
+//	    io.Chain(file.Close),
+//	)
+//
+// # Error Handling
+//
+// Both Close and Remove intentionally ignore errors. This design is suitable
+// for cleanup operations where:
+//   - The operation is best-effort
+//   - Errors should not interrupt the program flow
+//   - The resource state is not critical
+//
+// For operations requiring error handling, use ioeither or ioresult instead.

+// Package codec provides a functional approach to encoding and decoding data with validation.
+//
+// The codec package combines the concepts of encoders and decoders into a unified Type that can
+// both encode values to an output format and decode/validate values from an input format. This
+// is particularly useful for data serialization, API validation, and type-safe transformations.
+//
+// # Core Concepts
+//
+// Type[A, O, I]: A bidirectional codec that can:
+//   - Decode input I to type A with validation
+//   - Encode type A to output O
+//   - Check if a value is of type A
+//
+// Validation: Decoding returns Either[Errors, A] which represents:
+//   - Left(Errors): Validation failed with detailed error information
+//   - Right(A): Successfully decoded and validated value
+//
+// Context: A stack of ContextEntry values that tracks the path through nested structures
+// during validation, providing detailed error messages.
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+// Creating a simple type:
+//
+//	nilType := codec.MakeNilType[string]()
+//	result := nilType.Decode(nil) // Success
+//	result := nilType.Decode("not nil") // Failure
+//
+// Composing types with Pipe:
+//
+//	composed := codec.Pipe(typeB)(typeA)
+//	// Decodes: I -> A -> B
+//	// Encodes: B -> A -> O
+//
+// # Type Parameters
+//
+// Most functions use three type parameters:
+//   - A: The domain type (the actual Go type being encoded/decoded)
+//   - O: The output type for encoding
+//   - I: The input type for decoding
+//
+// # Validation Errors
+//
+// ValidationError contains:
+//   - Value: The actual value that failed validation
+//   - Context: The path to the value in nested structures
+//   - Message: Human-readable error description
+//
+// # Integration
+//
+// This package integrates with:
+//   - optics/decoder: For decoding operations
+//   - optics/encoder: For encoding operations
+//   - either: For validation results
+//   - option: For optional type checking
+//   - reader: For context-dependent operations
