I agree that it would be unreasonable for every article that uses monads to describe what they are. But I don't think it would be unreasonable for every one of them to link to another article that does explain them.
- dllthomas 6y agoWould you say the same about for loops? Depending on your audience, it's totally reasonable to expect they know certain things. Further, figuring out what to recommend isn't always easy, and I'd usually rather authors put their efforts into presenting the material that they have to share.
