The **Codensity Monad** is a concept in category theory and functional programming that is particularly relevant in the context of Haskell and similar languages. It provides a way to capture the idea of "computations that can be composed in a more efficient manner" by utilizing an intermediate representation for computations. ### Background In functional programming, monads are a design pattern used to handle values and computations in a consistent way, particularly when dealing with side effects, asynchronous computations, or stateful computations.
