Go ahead. Take 15 pages. It's why I - and I presume many others - clicked the article. As a bit of a motivator, I've now upvoted your blog post here. You can post the rest over the course of five or six articles. Add Part 1 to the title of this one. It's a good appetizer! :) So as an intro it's a fine outline. Now get cracking on writing those 15 pages. :) Break it down into 5 parts. I'll upvote every one. Make it suitable for someone coming from a language that doesn't have Monads. After all, it's a feature. If it can be learned - as you imply a way to do - then you can show and teach it, just as you've outlined. (By the way, the difference between what you've just written of 'walking up to a musician' is that a student didn't ask you - you took it upon yourself to show a superior alternative to other people's blog posts on the subject. :)) So get cracking :) Note: originally rather than post a critical comment here, I tried to email you, but didn't find an email address on your site, not even under "about" where you introduce yourself in two paragraphs - including your first name and city. Maybe add an email address there :)
