I think that line is usually quoting a popular joke from a comedic tour of various programming languages, and "just" is appropriate.
> A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors. What's the problem?
- gghh 3y agoI see. It was the first sentence that came to mind. The point I'm trying to make is, in my experience, "just" is often abused, as it conveniently relieves one from providing a sound argument.
- hansvm 3y agoTotally agreed. Your other examples were spot-on, and the general sentiment also makes sense to me.
