Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: What I wish someone had told me...

The best analogy I have found on Monads (written for Scala) is the one that compared them to Elephants. The author was referring the the blind men and elephant story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Men_and_an_Elephant On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 6:40 PM, Derek Elkins wrote:

I wasn't trying to be argumentative or negative about any work people have done to make Haskell approachable for OO programmers (or any other programmers, for that matter). I simply wanted to know what others thought about one item that was misleading to me in particular, and to see if others either agreed with me or had similar experiences.

That being said, I know that it's a great deal of work to put together a useful tutorial, and I appreciate every one I read. Especially the monad tutorials, of which it took a half dozen before I got it.

I've read a lot of the Monad tutorials, and I feel like I only get "most

of it" to be 100% honest.

Maybe the problem isn't you, but what you are reading...
