A Neighborhood of Infinity: You Could Have Invented Monads!

Another gem from the 'Neighborhood of infinity' - one of my favorite blogs. Definitely the best, most straight forward explanation of the concept of Monads in Haskell I have come across so far. Illustrating that monads are not the incomprehensible, magical, mystical things they are so often depicted to be. On the contrary, Monads are a naturally arising pattern when you're programming in a purely functional setting. Using simple examples, Dan goes on to show that seemingly unrelated problems can all be solved using monads. A truly brilliant article that every Haskell beginner trying to wrap their head around Monads should read.
