Hi,
I had a monadic revelation at about 3 am. The answer to the question "what is an IO value, really?" is "who cares?" I just posted a blog entry discussing how CT found it's way from Moggi into Haskell at http://syntax.wikidot.com/blog (hence the title; Moggi as functor). It addresses the question of what such things are and why Moggi's insight is so brilliant. Feedback welcome, but please remember this is coming from a non-mathematician who likes to write. If you find anything there that outrages your inner Russell, please correct me, but be gentle.
Thanks,
gregg
