Definitely has a ring of truth to it...
the monadic interface gives you two operations, one to throw things into a monad thing, and one to chain two monad things together.
...and *that* is quite possibly the simplest and clearest way to explain just what a monad is.
Explaning why this is useful for anything takes a little longer. ;-) _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
