Well, you really should know the amount of Haskell it assumes you know (typeclasses, maybe infix functions, arity etc) before learning about Haskell monads. Oth

Well, you really should know the amount of Haskell it assumes you know (typeclasses, maybe infix functions, arity etc) before learning about Haskell monads. Otherwise you're learning multiple concepts at once - why not learn about those other concepts in other contexts first? The Stephen Diel article even lists the prerequisites explicitly. My favourite monad explanation is Tikhon Jelvis's at https://www.quora.com/What-are-monads-in-functional-programming-and-why-are-they-useful https://www.quora.com/What-are-monads-in-functional-programm..., but reading through it, it does assume some prerequisite knowledge about Haskell.
