In their place, i wish monads would get a wider attention and embrace.
Do you want to suggest that it would be common that an issue can be
solved with either a macro or a monad,
or is it all about attention and how often one or the other is mentioned?
At least some monads, even if not called so, are present in lots of
languages. But good macro functionality is typical for lisps.
It's not my perception that there is a lot of noise about macros,
whereas articles about monads are like bunnies and have taken to the
meta-level.
