Can I also add that this sort of elitist, unhelpful quip of a pseudo-answer is the reason that I've largely avoided asking Haskell beginner questions on stackoverflow. Haskell is a wonderful language with a steep learning curve and I believe that it is the intention of this group grow the user base of the language by create a place where beginners will not be afraid to ask questions. And hasty ill-thought, poorly worded answers like Quanyang's won't help the language get there sooner. - Olumide On 22/03/2016 11:36, Olumide wrote:
Quanyang,
do bocks are *not* sugar, and please refer to Daniel's answer for an example of how to answer a beginner's question.

Hello List,
Do IO actions *have* to be glued by the do syntax? Many, if not all, the examples that I've come across in LYH seem to suggest so. And if so, why?
BTW, if possible I'd appreciate an explanation that does not resort to monads. I haven't studied them yet and I'm sure I'd struggle to understand any explanation that resorts to monads.
I think you should google that first... do blocks are just sugar...
Thanks,
