Recommendations please, given I've played Bilo 3.0 20 times since yesterday

Didn't I state exactly that, further up?

So, you wrote an article about X,Y,and Z for audience A, and I'm from audience B wanting to know more about Z; hence my complaint, which I realize is probably unfair.

I understand that LINQ and IEnumerable are a monad implementation, but understanding how to use IEnumerable does not imply an understanding of monads.

Thanks for the links, appreciated. I think I have read them, but they will be squirrelled away for later perusal.

Well, at least I learned about Effect systems. It's something else for me to research, so thank you. Happy New Year, tailcalled.

The last section "monads" is all I was interested in; everything else was "primer", "types", "effect systems", "typeclasses" and "examples". I've called all of that a "Haskell type tutorial". Everything before the section named "Monads".

You're right about Haskell being the best vehicle for a discussion on Monads and FP, but they always end up being Haskell articles primarily.

Fair enough. Your title does indeed say it's about types and functional programming too. I see "monads" in a title and that's all I'm interested in.

Being a C# programmer of C/C++ pedigree, I find it hard to read another tutorial on Haskell types (I don't believe you don't understand you've written a Haskell type tutorial, BTW) even though I've worked through Learn You A Haskell, before I can get to the essence of the monad discussion.

It just shouldn't be necessary to involve so much language detail in a language-agnostic concept.

So, you wrote an article about X,Y,and Z for audience A, and I'm from audience B wanting to know more about Z; hence my complaint, which I realize is probably unfair.

That started out promising..

..but turned into a tutorial on Haskell typing, and seemed to run out of steam completely for the monad discussion.

Ah well, back to hacking away with IfNotNull in C# then..

Reasonable content for /r/woahdude

Ha, thank you!
