I have the following trait:
trait Test[F[_]]{
def foo: F[Int]
}
And I tried to apply the so-called batching transformation to it as follows:
def withBatching[F[_]](t: Test[F], nat: F ~> F[List[*]]): Test[F[List[*]]] = ???
The problem is it does not compile with the following error:
[error] /Hello.scala:15:66: F[[α$1$]List[α$1$]] takes no type parameters, expected: 1
[error] def withBatching[F[_]](t: Test[F], nat: F ~> F[List[*]]): Test[F[List[*]]] = ???
[error] ^
[error] /Hello.scala:15:48: F[[α$0$]List[α$0$]] takes no type parameters, expected: 1
[error] def withBatching[F[_]](t: Test[F], nat: F ~> F[List[*]]): Test[F[List[*]]] = ???
Is there a way to declare somethign like F[List[*]]
with kind projector?
UPD: I found some workaround with type aliasing type ListT[F[_], A] = F[List[A]]
which seems to work, but is there more natural way to do so?

always binds at the tightest level, which is not what you need for nat
and the return type. You should use Lambda
syntax provided by kind-projector to explicitly choose the level:
def withBatching[F[_]](
t: Test[F], nat: F ~> Lambda[A => F[List[A]]]
): Test[Lambda[A => F[List[A]]]] = ???
