How many articles are there on writing your first program in Python? Is that a result if it being difficult? This is not a valid method of assessment.
Relative to programming in general, monads are easy to work with, easy enough to understand, but I’ll grant you often poorly explained.
- TylerE 3y agoArticles on python don’t generally start with “Ignore the thousands of other articles, this one ACTUALLY explains it”
- astrange 3y agoI think there was mostly a problem where people refused to stop trying to explain it with confusing burrito analogies. It's not too bad if you read the type definition and maybe read some compiler IL. (And of course "it's just a monoid in the category of endofunctors".)
- marcosdumay 3y agoYou seem to have made an uninformed opinion where you saw some people struggling to do one thing, and just assumed they were doing something completely different. Those people writing monad tutorials (those are written about as often as they are read) aren't trying to learn how to do I/O.
