> There's really multiple definitions of "functional" right now > ... >> ...monads... There are also a couple of definitions of "monad" going around -- in array languages (J, APL, Q) a "monad" is something with arity 1 (like unary negate), to be contrasted with "dyads" which take two parameters (infix operators etc.)
