Oh please no, please don't let the logo be something that says "Haskell, it's all about monads".

But it's a very pretty logo. And the idea of "computation abstractions", Applicatives and Monads in particular, are a pretty big part of Haskell as a language and as a culture. Haskell, it's not exactly not about monads.

No, I agree, but there's already a large body of literature that implies that Haskell is pretty much only about monads, and I'd hate to see the logo go the same way. Though I do take your point about abstractions being a major part of the language. Bob
