Answer to http://disq.us/p/1za4u75.
Hi, your problem is actually quite hard to solve with composition, at least without a profunctor-based approach, which is really hard to do in Swift due to the lack of higher-kinded types.
There is a solution, though, but we must be clear about what we're searching for here. In your ViewState<T> there could be no Prism that points just to T, because the inject function wouldn't know what case to produce with a value of type T: it's probably going to be an Affine.
At the bottom of this answer you'll find all the code needed to implement it: it can be directly copy-pasted into a playground.
