I've been studying Haskell a bit to understand and learn more about functional programming (I'm using F#). I have to say, the scariest thing I've faced was exactly what you say. Everything I read built "monads" up to be this ungraspable thing like quantum mechanics. Even after I actually understood it well enough, I kept thinking I must be missing something because there's so much fuss about it. -Michael _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
