Functional Programming Galaxy Brain

Text on the meme

a → a Maybe a → a (Read b, Show a) ⇒ a → b instance Functor Nullable instance Comonad Maybe instance Comonad IO

What it means

A six-panel Galaxy Brain meme escalating from a simple type identity to increasingly powerful Haskell typeclass concepts, ending with a bald man's portrait for Comonad IO. The joke contrasts abstract functional-programming sophistication with an absurdly exalted reaction image, aimed at programmers familiar with Haskell and category theory.
