Understanding monads is so important in Haskell, I would say that it is, IMO, the single biggest reason that it will never become truly mainstream as it's too far up the BLUB scale for most people who cut code for a living. I see you have your crystal ball out. Those have always been so reliable. ;) Yeah. I also predicted last weeks lottery numbers which is why I now only work for fun.
Not. :( I always ask people this question when money comes up, "If your physical needs were met (house,food etc.), what would you do for the rest of your life ?" I suspect that a very long time ago back in the dark ages, we discovered that human life is ultimately pointless and so 'money' was invented to create a bias and then 'consumerism' gives most western people something to take their minds of the futility of it all. IMHO anyway. :)
