I think a disagreement about didactic methods and ordering is not what I was addressing. I just think at some point calling it a "Pythagorean cult" (and what, I wonder, are we murdering people over uttering?) is counter-productive. I'm slowly recording several sessions, and I think about 2 hours in enough to introduce Purescript, explain the basics of Functors, Applicative Functors (which come nearly for free), and even explain, motivate, and use monadic functions. But I don't know how to do this without at least giving folks some words (Functor is a name as good as any, and every other name for Monad is at last as if not more intimidating It's just at some point if we observe the shape of what we're doing, we can generalize in a useful way further (e.g., the lenses-banannas-parethesis approach).
