I've never really used monads or monoids, but one thing that does confuse me is how come there are so may libraries for supporting them.
I've been reading the documentation of morph (https://github.com/blancas/morph) recently, which is the first one I've understood. A quick look at fluokitten suggests that the doc is good also! What I've not yet understood is what the difference is between all of these libraries?
