Please don't confuse Haskell with FP!
Haskell is an abnormality. Even in FP land.
There is likely no other language where you need to "understand monads" to understand `Hello World!`. Such "crazy stuff" has nothing to do with FP!
- tome 3y agomain = putStrLn "Hello World!" Where did I have to "understand monads"?
- dllthomas 3y agoYou didn't, of course, but playing devil's advocate and abusing terminology in the usual way, you have to understand a monad a little bit to know what to make of the type signature. In practice I expect the comment you replied to is hyperbole and/or confused.
