As one of these guys (not yet 20 years experience but close), I concur. I don't accept defeat though as I'm actually trying to learn FP for the third time! I bookmarked this blog post for when I get to monads again.
Actually I'm fine with "lightweight" FP like Scheme or Elixir (HOFs, recursion, immutable data, etc.) but still struggle with "real" FP like Haskell or functional Scala (algebraic data types, monads, lenses, etc.)
By the way I couldn't help to notice that the blog also features a CSS centering article. The author really is into esoteric concepts!
