except... I wasn't explaining monads or proving the laws there. that was in a different follow-up thread. this thread was talking about things in the broader space (which non-FPrs would informally call "monads") and that monads are *a* way of getting into them.

You also said "monads are like a container", which is not only wrong, but confuses learners who are latch on to this false analogy. I leave it to you as an exercise to find 1000 counter-examples. Trivial to do once you actually understand what monad means.

oh poor my audience, it's so terrible that now they're all permanently mislead on a topic... that none of them give a damn about because of all this useless pedantry.

It's not pedantry. You are disservicing them by limiting (purposefully or not) their understanding to "not more than yours", which clearly, needs work.

yes, it's so true, they can't possibly ever learn anything beyond my simple tweet threads. they are so limited.

Mate, I wish you understood the consequences of this silly dismissiveness. One of which being, you still don't understand the subject at an elementary level. If you want to continue to be "the Pete Evans of monad tutorials", then fine. If not, many of us are happy to help.

I have several mentors who in the FP space. I trust them. And I vet what I learn and say thru them. I suspect in me saying that you'll tear them down as well. I don't know you, except these few tweets. You haven't demonstrated anything that would make me trust your help.

I'm willing to spend a few hours showing you my methods for teaching monad to coworkers, university students and randoms. I'm not sure you're interested in addressing criticisms though.
