The problem with monads is that there is a gazillion tutorials to
explain them, each with their own analogy that works well for the
author but not necessarily for you.
It adds to the complexity of something that is indeed, not so
difficult after all.
What was the phrase? "Monads are possibly the most tutorialised concept
ever..."?
Still, while the concept is simple, it's hard to sum up in just a few
words what a monad "is". (Especially given that Haskell has so many
different ones - and they seem superficially to bear no resemblence to
each other.)
Maybe I'll give it a shot some day. ;-)
