Understanding the Context

Here the monad-pattern is used to avoid repetitive code. This is similar to how some other languages use macros to simplify syntax, although macros achieve the same goal in a very different way. Note that it is the combination of the monad pattern and the monad-friendly syntax in Haskell which result in the cleaner code. In terms that an OOP programmer would understand (without any functional programming background), what is a monad?

Key Insights

What problem does it solve and what are the most common places it's used? Update To Here is my attempt to contribute to monads-beginners that you probably never have found anywhere else. A monad is a highly composable unit (a kind of building block of programming) in functional programming. (IMO, introducing "Monad laws" without any context and rationalization is merely a useless classification and hazard to understand the concept. No worry, I do the job later in this article ...

Final Thoughts

Also, every monad has a dedicated corpus, a body which is itself assembled from parts, which themselves have their dedicated monads, lower in the hierarchy. Only the monas monadum exists without one. All in all, this is a very difficult topic. I hope I was of any help, and did not add to your confusion. It seems monad is just a higher level of abstraction in terms of programming, or it's just a continous and non-differentiable function definition in mathematics. Either way, they're not new concept, especially in mathematics.
