To understand monads, I think it helps to know a language where expressing such a concept is more natural. Although I do not claim to know 100% what monads are yet, coming across these features made it easier for me to understand the concept a little bit. - Algebraic data types - OCaml's let expressions - F#'s computation expressions I also think that it is important to write something that naturally requires the use of monads. One thing that spring to mind is Parser Combinators. - https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/understanding-parser-combinators/ https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/understanding-parser... - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9RUqGYuGfw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9RUqGYuGfw
