Given the amount of material posted at haskell.org and elsewhere
explaining IO, monads and functors, has anyone considered publishing
a comprehensive book explaining those subjects? (I am trying to
read all the material online, but books are easier to read and don't
require sitting in front of a computer to do so. Plus I can write in
books :-). )
Well, how much in depth are you interested in getting? I started reading Categories for the Working Mathematician a couple of months ago, and while it sometimes takes a bit of work it's a very good introduction. The only caution I have is that if you don't have that strong of a math background, or hadn't done it in a few years (like myself), you may have to lookup a lot of definitions in order to understand his examples. Wikipedia usually provides enough of a detailed description that you can get the point.
