Yes, there are plenty. But none of them capture it quite as well
as Haskell, IMHO, because the Haskell overloading makes it look
particularly nice and succinct.
And the second question about "not so explicitly", you could say
that any language uses an implicit monad. It's where you throw
in all the effects.
