What's wrong with 'bind' ?

• skybrian 11y ago
  What's being bound? Perhaps "then" would work. JavaScript promises use it to good effect, and they're a monad.

    Smaller computations are being bound into a larger computation, where the monad provides the the code that is executed 'between the lines'. (BTW, my own take on renaming a monad into something less scary is daisychain, or, slightly more to-the-point, chainable.)

    (>>=) :: M a -> (a -> M b) -> M b The `a` is bound in the second argument.
