Today I read this fantastic blog post: You Could Have Invented Monads! (And Maybe You Already Have.) http://blog.sigfpe.com/2006/08/you-could-have-invented-monads-and.html You most probably have seen the post by now, but I just wanted to remind it, just in case.

Hi all, I am doing an "Intro To Monads" talk in September [1]. The audience consists of experienced non-Haskell developers but they will be familiar with basic functional concepts (closures, first-class functions etc.).
I am looking for suggestions on how to introduce the concept and its implications. I'd also like to include a section on why monads exist and why we don't really see them outside of Haskell.
Has anyone here done a talk like this? And if so what parts of your presentation were successful and what would you stay away from.
Thanks for the feedback. -deech
