MONADS AND RUST A THREAD - or - why async/await instead of do notation

Okay, so Monad can't abstract over Future, but still let's have Monad. Problem: we don't have higher kinded polymorphism, and probably never will.

The problem is that without currying at the type level, higher kinded polymorphism makes type inference trivially undecidable. We have no currying.

In order to add higher kinded polymorphism, we'd have to restrict the sorts of types you could use in a way that would feel very arbitrary to users.

In contrast, generic associated types don't have this problem, and directly solve the expressiveness problems we do have, like Iterable (abstracting over everything with a `.iter(&self)` method)

(Don't get me wrong, you can write something to abstract over some monads like Option and Result using generic associated types. But its much less ergonomic than Monad in Haskell, even for those).

IN CONCLUSION: a design that works in a pure FP which lazily evaluates and boxes everything by default doesn't necessarily work in an eager imperative language with no runtime.

This comes up a lot, please link this thread liberally.
