In general the Haskell community seems way too obsessed about monads. I just checked the "official" tutorials [0]. I was happy to see they all introduce IO without talking about monads. However, the linked wiki page has a whole section about monads. In contrast, there nothing about concurrency or transactional memory, despite that fact that this is one of the strong parts of Haskell.

It is something that virtually every single person coming to haskell from another language is unfamiliar with. I don't see how a focus on such a fundamental aspect of the language is a bad thing.
