Ah... so the secret is in the hidden variables. On some level I am beginning to fear that Monads resurrect some of the scariest aspects of method overriding from my OO programming days. Do you (all) ever find that the ever changing nature of >>= makes code hard to read?

You always know which monad you're in though, since its in the type. And the scary monads aren't terribly common anyway.

Also, the monad laws impose a level of sanity that most OO frameworks do not, right?

Ah yes, and we have the 3 laws of monads. If you break these , the monad police will come and lock you up. -- Don
