+# Bimonad
+
+The `Bimonad` trait directly extends `Monad` and `Comonad` without introducing new methods. `Bimonad` is
+different from other `Bi` typeclasses like `Bifunctor`, `Bifoldable` or `Bitraverse` where the prefix describes a
+`F[_, _]`. The `Bimonad` is a `F[_]` and the `Bi` prefix has a different meaning here: it's both a `Monad` and a `Comonad`.
+
+
+If you use `Bimonad` as a convenience type such that:
+```scala
+def f[T[_] : Monad, Comonad, S](fa: T[S]): S
+```
+is re-written to:
+```scala
+def f[T[_] : Bimonad, S](fa: T[S]): S
+```
+keep in mind `Bimonad` has its own added laws so something that is both monadic
+and comonadic may not necessarily be a lawful `Bimonad`.
+
+###Eval as a Bimonad
+Eval is a lawful `Bimonad` so you can chain computations (like a `Monad`) and `extract` the result at the end (like a `Comonad`).
+
+Here is a possible implementation based on existing monad and comonad:
+```scala mdoc
+import cats._
+import cats.data._
+import cats.implicits._
+
+implicit def evalBimonad(implicit monad: Monad[Eval], comonad: Comonad[Eval]) =
+  new Bimonad[Eval] {
+
+    //use Eval specific methods for creation and extraction
+    override def pure[A](a: A): Eval[A] =
+      Eval.now(a)
+
+    override def extract[A](x: Eval[A]): A =
+      x.value
+
+    //use the coflatMap from the Eval comonad
+    override def coflatMap[A, B](fa: Eval[A])(f: Eval[A] => B): Eval[B] =
+      comonad.coflatMap(fa)(f)
+
+    //use the flatMap and tailRecM from the Eval monad
+    override def flatMap[A, B](fa: Eval[A])(f: A => Eval[B]): Eval[B] =
+      monad.flatMap(fa)(f)
+
+    override def tailRecM[A, B](a: A)(f: A => Eval[Either[A, B]]): Eval[B] =
+      monad.tailRecM(a)(f)
+  }
+```
+
+Note the equivalence:
+```scala mdoc
+evalBimonad.pure(true).extract === Eval.now(true).value
+```
+
+Using generic bimonad syntax we could define a function that appends and extracts a configuration:
+```scala mdoc
+def make[T[_]: Bimonad](config: T[String]): String = 
+  config
+    .flatMap(c => Bimonad[T].pure(c + " with option A"))
+    .flatMap(c => Bimonad[T].pure(c + " with option B"))
+    .flatMap(c => Bimonad[T].pure(c + " with option C"))
+    .extract
+```
+
+This will work with all types of `Eval`:
+```scala mdoc
+make(Eval.now("config"))
+
+make(Eval.later("config"))
+```
+
+`Function0` and `NonEmptyList` are also lawful bimonads so the following calls are also valid:
+```scala mdoc
+make(() => "config")
+
+make(NonEmptyList.one("config"))
+```
