It is only a concept of the language insofar as it is needed to do IO (because of the IO monad). You are correct that it is really more of a programming model.

I think it would help a lot, if this would be mentioned in all the explanations. Maybe I over read it, but the information that monads are a data structure, which are used to do for example IO and no "special datatypes" would help. But enough programming for these days. . . .
