The article is likely aimed at intermediate-ish FP programmers, though, not people with no prior knowledge. (Although I suspect it is an example of "learning by teaching", since it is wrong on many counts.)
Learn You a Haskell mentions functors in chapter 8 and teaches them properly in chapter 11.

- mhitza 5y agoIn my opinion Monads at this point should be considered a beginner Haskell concept. Regardless of how LYAH chooses to order things, (when have you used a Zipper last time?), they are too essential to any beginner Haskell program. In my opinion we need a new imperative first approach to Haskell teaching, to develop intuition on monads quickly.
