A monoid is a pipeline of functions. e.g. cat x | sort | uniq ; or F(G(H(x))). A monad is a monoid with smart pipes.
Mate, fair dinkum. Once again, you are wrong. Not a little bit wrong. Completely off base. When are we going to fix this? The offer remains.

"Smart pipes" ?
-
Yes, or rather, orthogonal processing within the composition pipeline.

Function composition does not a Monoid make, Bob.

I really am not comfortable with this onslaught on someone who is trying to make FP concepts map to something they already understand. This is how we *all* learn anything new. Don’t give functional programmers a bad rap.

There is no onslaught, and no, this is definitely not how anything is learned.

I have no idea either so I thought I'd Google monoid http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Monoid.html I kind of understand that but that's scratching the surface. Can you recommend a good book or article that covers the basics of FP (one written by a subject matter expert)? That would be much more useful

I recommend using IRC to go through the subject with examples. http://qfpl.io/contact There are two questions: 1. what does it mean? (easy) 2. why do you care? what is the practical purpose? (takes some socratic discourse) I am at lambdaconf (Boulder) in June if that helps.
