So do I. It's a pattern. But you don't create things a particular way for no reason. My point is about being able to see the point. I get the sense that there are people who think Monads are a fundamentally powerful pattern for structuring software. And I don't get that. And I'd like to, because if I'm missing something, it could mean I improve my code architecture. Monad's qualify as a 'that's an interesting way to get around its self-imposed restrictions' moment when learning Haskell (which I've not used with any seriousness) for me. So I don't get the fuss. I'm not saying that I don't see the logic of those restrictions, nor that I don't see why you'd want to voluntarily code with similar restrictions in other languages. More than, if you're going to write something that has to work around those restrictions in another language, I've no idea why you'd necessarily chose Monads. Or, put another way, what use are Monads in non Haskell code?
