At risk of stating the obvious, you will need to us the IO
monad...
When you say "use a monad to represent" the commands, that is
perhaps not necessary. You can represent the commands as data,
for example:
data MyLanguage = Go | Stop | Left | Right
runMyLanguage :: MyLanguage -> IO ()
The `runMyLanguage` function serves to transform commands
as pure data into real IO actions.
