Bifunctor vs. Arrow methods

Arrow is equivalent to Strong + Category.

You can choose a different notion of strength to get a different kind of Arrow.

class Category a => ArrowChoice a where
    arr :: (b -> c) -> a b c
    (+++) :: a b c -> a b' c' -> a (Either b b') (Either c c')

In other words, the tensor product of your Cartesian closed category needn't be (,) exactly. Any tensor product you can come up with has a corresponding notion of strength, each of which would give you a corresponding variety of Arrow.

Notably, many profunctors are both Strong and Choice, so your Foo (which basically generalises Strong over a tensor product p) doesn't have a functional dependency.

The Control.Arrow module in base unfortunately muddles the hierarchy together a little bit (for example, their ArrowChoice has Arrow as a superclass).

Arrow is a (somewhat bastardized) precursor to a class of cartesian closed categories, or a least cartesian monoidal categories. Specifically, to monoidal categories whose tensor product is (,) and unit element ().

Recall that a monoidal category is characterised by the tensor product as a bifunctor, so there's your connection between Arrow and Bifunctor.

*** has in fact more laws than you listed, only, the library chooses to formulate those in terms of first instead. Here's an equivalent definition of the class:

class (Category k, Category k') => EnhancedCategory k k' where
  arr :: k a b -> k' a b
  -- arr id ≡ id
  -- arr (f . g) = arr f . arr g
class (EnhancedCategory (->) a) => Arrow a where
  (***) :: a b c -> a b' c' -> a (b,b') (c,c')
  -- (f***id) . (g***id) ≡ (f.g)***id
  -- (id***f) . (id***g) ≡ id***(f.g)
  -- arr fst . (f***id) ≡ f . arr fst
  -- arr snd . (id***g) ≡ g . arr snd
  -- ¿ arr swap . (f***g) ≡ (g***f) . arr swap ?
  -- ((f***g)***h) . assoc ≡ assoc . (f***(g***h))
  diag :: a b (b,b)

first :: Arrow a => a b c -> a (b,d) (c,d)
first f = f***id
second :: Arrow a => a b c -> a (d,b) (d,c)
second g = id***g
(&&&) :: Arrow a => a b c -> a b d -> a b (c,d)
f&&&g = (f***g) . diag

Incidentally, it is also possible to remove the arr for lifting pure functions, and instead give the superclass only the dedicated methods fst, snd and assoc. I call that class Cartesian. This allows defining “arrow” categories that don't contain arbitrary Haskell functions; linear maps are an important example.
