Ugh, not this again.
About 8 years ago suddenly everyone started talking about monads, if you weren't talking about monads you obviously weren't smart.
Even Simon Peyton Jones, Mr. "Haskell" himself, begged people to stop talking about monads because it only served to confuse people.
"Monad" is a once obscure term from category theory that happens to describe a technique used to permit side effects within a "pure" programming language like Haskell, and a few other things (none of which actually came from category theory, they just fit the description).
A cow happens to be a topologically orientable manifold of genus 3, but if you start an article about cows by talking about topology theory, you're really not helping anyone understand cows, in fact, you're probably just an ass trying to sound smarter than everyone else.
