And the fact that you think those jargons are equivalent is probably related to everyone's great surprise that monads aren't taking off.

Data binding and borrowing are terms carefully chosen to have some sort of intuitive meaning in English. One of these is not like the other.

You think that "borrow" has the same kind of jargony nature as "monad" despite borrow being an English word meant to analogize borrowing?

I think "applicative" is no easier to understand than "monad" despite the friendly name and that helpful names matter less than you'd think.

Applicative is just a weird construction *in English*. If you asked smart ppl a lot of them would get it wrong.

Academia has a distaste for -able, but that's too has. Mappable, FlatMappable, Applyable. Applicative means "related to applying"
