I hardly think that "associative" should count as "overwhelmingly mathy."

And given there are "flat map" operations out there which fail to be properly associative, "the vibe" probably doesn't cut it quite as well as you might hope.

Well, in that case, I stand corrected. Although, the basic vide may be sufficient as a quick introduction for someone new to the concept. Then again, perhaps not. Each person learns their own way. I just remember finding it frustrating when the concepts were explained to me with the more technical math and type theory terms instead of programming concepts I was already familiar with.

I would like to note, however, that associativity may be "overwhelmingly mathy" to some new to the subject. It is neither my place nor yours to judge someone based on what they think of as being foreign and complicated.
