#### Why?

Scala supports both object-oriented and functional programming, and this is reflected in the hybrid approach of the
standard library. Cats augments the standard library with tools that further enable functional programming such as
`Validated`, `Monad`, and `Traverse`. A broader goal of Cats is to provide a foundation for an
[ecosystem of pure, typeful libraries](http://typelevel.org/projects/).

### Getting Started

Cats is currently available for Scala 2.10 and 2.11.
