- Natsu 16y agoThanks. I just read it. It does help, but I think there's still a lot I don't know. I mean, 'bind' and 'return' still seem like the names are backwards to me. Somehow, I feel like 'return' should give me a value, rather than shoving a value into a monad. But that's probably because I'm used to C and its relatives. Perhaps I simply need to read up more on FP itself. I have a huge bookshelf full of half-read books (and yes, plenty of fully-read books) but nowhere near enough free time...
- lincolnq 16y agoOh. Yeah. The names are poorly chosen, but we're stuck with them. :(
