Monad (functional programming): History & Applications

In functional programming, monads are a way to structure computations as a sequence of steps, where each step produces a value, plus some extra information about the computation, such as a potential failure, non-determinism, or side effect. More formally, a monad is a type constructor M equipped with two operations, return : <A>(a : A) -> M(A) which…
