While I understand your gut reaction, the fact that those words are unknown to you does not imply that they cover complicated concepts. It's just a new word, nothing more. it has nothing to do with . Monad is just a way to establish a (type verified) set of rules for a sequence of functions. This set of rules can be -for example- about the management of return value of these functions : executing the next function if we get a result, returning immediately if we have an error. What is powerful with Monads, is their genericity. They can be applied to many different contexts, and still provide the same type safety. You're likely already building very limited/specific monads without knowing it.
