Comonads

Slowly recovering from vacation-induced ignorance, today I printed out some interesting papers about type-preserving compilation, plans for type-level functions in GHC and dataflow implementations using comonads. Another one about Hoare Type Systems remained on my screen, too heavy for me, a.t.m.
So I am wrapping my head around category theory again. Somehow all these topics seems to interact, and I continuously am trying to fit them into my Thrist framework. Today I tried to implement a Comonad to Thrist adapter (in my mind at least, no code written yet).
