My question is - have other Clojure/Haskell programmers had this
experience? (ie I rarely find myself reaching for something like the state
monad). I'm interested to hear if so, and why.
I find myself reaching for the state monad all the time; then I

I wouldn't say that I *often* find myself reaching for monads, or the state
monad in particular, but I certainly have found them useful on occasion
(and would have sometimes refrained from using them where I'd naturally
lean to doing so solely to avoid creating an dependency). For instance,

Haskell's STM transactions can be thought of as a form of IO action (like
reading a file is an IO action) that modify refs (there are no atoms in
Haskell, only refs). A transaction must be started in the IO monad

When I first wrote the core.async go macro I based it on the state monad.
It seemed like a good idea; keep everything purely functional. However,
over time I've realized that this actually introduces a lot of incidental
complexity. And let me explain that thought.
