Hi, I'm sorry you feel that way. Maybe you just aren't my target audience. That being said, Crockford's explanation of monads in that talk was overly simplistic and misses much of the point of the benefit that you get from them in a language like Haskell. And if we're being honest here I think it's safe to say that most programmers wouldn't have even heard of monads if it wasn't for Haskell. I gave a talk at the NY Haskell meetup a few years ago that specifically addresses Crockford's talk in a little more detail [1]. That talk might be about the level you're looking for. There is some Haskell code, but most of the talk should make sense to someone not familiar with Haskell. [1] https://vimeo.com/59215336 https://vimeo.com/59215336
