>If you have been around functional programming for a bit, you might see the word “monoid” and “categories” and wonder “oh, is julia writing about monads, like in Haskell”? I am not!!
- yakshaving_jgt 8y ago…I don't think that answers the question. Monoids don't come from Haskell. You'll see monoids discussed in Haskell plenty, sure, but the math precedes the programming language by at least a few decades.
- maccam912 8y agoProbably true, but I know some upper level math through programming, and I associate "monoid" with Haskell and an abstract concept, but "tensor" with tensorflow and a more concrete idea.
