Before the term was adopted, the triples T,eta,mu were variously referred to as dual standard construction, triple, monoid, and triad. The frequent use of the term triple was getting confusing for somewhat obvious reasons, so a portmanteau of monoid and triad was formed to get monad. The philosophical use derives more directly from the greek word monas (unity), and is much older, having been found in Hellenistic Greek sources in reference to the doctrine of Pythagoras and other ancient philosophers. - Cale ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

[Haskell-cafe] a new Monad
Microsoft has announced the following: Developers can also expect a new scripting language for management applications, called Monad. Monad is an object-oriented language based on .NET, and provides command-line based management while enabling management services to be passed between different commands. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/09/16/microsoft_longhorn_server/ What a strange choice of name for a language...! :-) Malcolm ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
