In many discussions about FP - especially about purely functional programming - there are talks about IO monad, IO type and so on. Its users’ argument on how it is better than your standard imperative approach, how it helps reason, encapsulate side-effects and design more elegant programs. On the other hand, its opponents argue, that programs are side-effectful by nature, so you would end up with something that needs IO for like 80% of the codebase while learning curve for newcomers would g...| kubuszok.com
So, we parsed an input - file, stream of characters or string - and we got a nicely structured data in the form of a tree and/or an algebraic data type. What now?| kubuszok.com
As soon as you start mentioning functional programming, monads pops out as something that you have to know. However, hardly anyone is good at explaining what a monad is. That is why we’ll try to get some intuition about it without defining it.| kubuszok.com
