Damn, thought of a great #promisegate comeback way too late. "I'm not missing the point of promises, your promises are missing point!"

@puffnfresh scala monads are missing the point too :(

@pelotom @puffnfresh This is one of the few GOOD things about scala.

@dibblego @pelotom huh? It's a good thing to rely on map instead of point?

@puffnfresh @pelotom Eschew point/identity. The Semigroupoid Way of Life.

@dibblego @puffnfresh @pelotom How can one can eschew point entirely? Have to get into the context somewhere.

@nuttycom @dibblego @puffnfresh Exactly. If I am building a monadic API I *need* Point, and in Scala there's no standard Point

@pelotom @dibblego @puffnfresh Monad as map + flatten instead of point + flatMap; lifting may indicate you're doing something wrong?
