I wrote some thoughts about the recent waves I stirred up while trying to talk about monads (and their friends). Here's what I didn't say in the tweets (but maybe should have), "Monads and Friends": https://gist.github.com/getify/443766e7396759abd17a3d3b0830c54f … A few additional words about arriving at this post...
That's a verbose way of saying, "yeah ok, I maybe kinda wrote some incorrect and unhelpful things", but well done on step 1.
