Huh? How are you defining "lazy monad"?
We've had this discussion before; somewhere in the archives is an example of a State monad doing things in data-driven order instead of the apparently "explicit" monadic sequencing. Monads don't insure sequencing unless designed to do so (as, for example, IO).
Certainly. I asked because Achim might have been making a point about about call-by-need versus call-by-value, or something. -- Dave Menendez <dave@zednenem.com> <http://www.eyrie.org/~zednenem/>
